How You Can Help PandoKids

Mentor
As a mentor, you can make a big difference in the life of a student in as little as 20-40 minutes each week. Weekly mentors can become lunch buddies, lead a lunch group, or be reading/tutoring buddies.

Share with a classroom of students about your career or other topics of interest. Share your knowledge with our community’s future workforce.
