Positive Directions mentors at Stanley Hupfeld Academy seeks new tutors and mentors! Hupfeld Academy is located at 1508 N.W. 106th (106th & N. McKinley), and serves the Western Village neighborhood children.
The Positive Directions program matches mentors with elementary (K-5) students for one-on-one sessions. The Casady School Positive Directions Program will team two volunteers to mentor the same child, alternating weeks, to meet the requirement of mentoring an hour each week. Coach T. approved permission for Cyclones to volunteer twice a month on Wednesdays during lunch and activities. Stanley Hupfeld will provide lunch for the Casady Positive Directions mentors.

Director will provide transportation if needed.
The program’s purpose is to build relationships and provide consistent, caring friends and role models for the children, and to help them with their academic and social needs. Most mentors spend ½ of their time on academic needs/reading, and the other ½ on a fun activity (games, puzzles, walking the track, etc., to encourage casual visiting and building the relationship). We have two designated mentor rooms at our school site, with all of the supplies and materials needed for mentoring sessions.

Many of our mentors tell us it’s the best hour of their week, and they gain as much from the experience as their student does! We have a number of mentors who stay with their student throughout their elementary years.
Interested mentors have to complete a mentor information form. Mentors will receive a packet containing a photo and information about their student, as well as a mentor nametag and handbook. There will be an orientation onsite or at Casady. The YAC members facilitating this project are Ford W. and Jacob B. There are also mentor volunteer opportunities for interested adults. There is an application process and training for adult mentors also.
