For many students today, learning requires more than the typical classroom setting can provide. These students, for a number of reasons, have fallen behind their peers and will be at risk of failing and/or dropping out of school. In order to break this cycle of failure, many schools have adopted a program similar to the GIFT program.. GIFT is a volunteer academic mentoring program that pairs a student who needs help with a community member who wants to make a difference in a child’s life. With help from volunteer members, students receive the extra attention and encouragement they need to become successful in school. |
