Florida Mentoring Partnership

First Baptist Church of Leesburg has joined with the Florida Mentoring Partnership, 21st Century Community Learning Center of the Lake County School Board, MAD-DADS Organization, Seniors for Citizens Group, and a variety of other partners to establish a community of learning in the targeted area schools.  This will include four elementary schools, three middle schools and one high school. This includes Beverly Shores, Fruitland Park, Leesburg, and Eustis elementary schools; Carver, Oak Park, and Mount Dora middle schools; as well as Leesburg High School. 

To provide achievement incentives to our middle and high school students that will increase the involvement of low-income students in after school, weekend, and summer activities designed to provide remediation, tutoring, and counseling in order to promote their interest of, participation in, and success with the FCAT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP courses and testing.  To reinforce and complement the regular academic program, the centers will offer a broad array of activities designed with a special emphasis on integrating art for our elementary students.

The tutoring efforts are offered at the middle school programs before and after school three days a week with targeted at-risk students.  The high school groups meet after school three days a week.  If you are interested in becoming a mentor to help change the life of a child, please click here to contact Pastor Scrubbs.
