The School Board voted Tuesday in favor of consolidating resources with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Florida to implement a “School to Work” program for a minimum of 15 students and maximum of 30.
The program will target Pine Forest High School juniors who will be matched for two years with a mentor from corporate partner Navy Federal Credit Union. Students will meet once a month with mentors from Navy Federal to strengthen their academic skills, learn how to resolve conflicts and gain positive interpersonal skills. Students will be exposed to a professional environment and receive industry-specific training.
Big Brothers Big Sisters will provide staff to oversee the program, facilitate matching students one-on-one with mentors, recruit corporate partners from the community, conduct assessments of students and their families, fund all supplies and reimburse the school district for student transportation to work sites. Navy Federal will pay for breakfast and lunch for students during the workplace mentoring day.
Paula Shell, Big Brothers Big Sisters CEO, said the agency is paying for the pilot program with funding the Florida State Association received from the Department of Economic Opportunity.
