While most students are enjoying the end of summer, our Community Cares high schoolers were hard at work preparing for the second year of the peer mentorship program! The group visited Ursinus College earlier this month for an intensive two-day orientation, where they engaged with guest speakers, honed their public speaking and leadership skills, and delivered practice teaching presentations to prepare for the year ahead.
As Community Cares peer mentors, these students will visit Skyview and Arcola classrooms each month to build meaningful connections and guide younger students through essential life skills that shape responsible, respectful citizens.
Thanks to Ursinus College, Methacton's Belonging and Climate Facilitator Michaela Zelli, and our partners for making sure our leaders are trained, inspired and ready to make an incredible impact this school year:
▪️ Leslie Slingsby, CEO of Mission Kids Child Advocacy Center
▪️ Chade Darby, Methacton alum and PhD candidate at Cornell University
▪️ Kadida Kenner, founder and director of the New Pennsylvania Project
▪️ Freddy Shegog, keynote speaker
▪️ Representative Joe Webster
