Join us in setting the course for the next stage of community partnerships between Maynard High School and the Maynard professional community.

• Connect with past volunteers
• Celebrate our accomplishments
• Create lasting community impact

Maynard High School is seeking community members to mentor seniors through meaningful, real-world project experiences. These partnerships help students develop critical thinking, communication, planning, and problem‑solving skills while connecting academics with real community needs. 

No prior mentoring experience or financial commitment is required.

By volunteering as a community mentor, you play a vital role in helping students experience authentic, real‑world learning. Your guidance helps them build confidence, explore career pathways, develop responsibility, and strengthen their ability to work with others. 

What do we want from you?

• Time: Approximately 1 hour every other week (~10 total hours, January–May).
• Expertise: None required — any area you feel comfortable discussing/working with.
• Role: Serve as a guide, not an employer. Help students shape, plan, and refine a project that matches your interests or background.

What you’ll help the student do

• Select, plan, and make progress on a project.
• Develop executive skills (organization, planning, follow‑through).
• Understand how adults work, solve problems, and collaborate.
• Practice communication, presentation, and critical thinking.
• Prepare a final presentation for school faculty.
