Mentors For Framingham High School Students Wanted

FRAMINGHAM, MA — The Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Massachusetts is looking for about 30 local adults to mentor at-risk students in Framingham this school year.

Each year, the BGBS Mazie Mentoring Program recruits local adults to show students how to set goals and prepared for college and adulthood. The program is seeking 15 volunteers by November, and 15 more by March.

During the program, students complete specific goals with the help of a mentor, like volunteering for a community service project or completing a college essay.

The Mazie program was founded in the late 1990s in memory of John Andrew Mazie, who died in a car crash. The program first started at Framingham High School in 1998, and then later branched out to students at Waltham High School and Marlborough High School.

If you're interested in volunteering as a mentor, contact Brandon Portillo at brandon.portillo@bbbscm.org or visit the Mazie program website.
