Voice (Volunteers Of Issaquah Changing Education) Mentor Program

Volunteers of Issaquah Changing Education (VOICE) is a school-based program that pairs community volunteers with students who may benefit from a little extra help to succeed. The commitment involves meeting for 30 minutes to 1 hour a week throughout the school year on school premises during school hours. Because of the pandemic, VOICE lost several mentors at a time when the need is greater than ever. VOICE operates in all 26 schools in the district and serves students K-12. Pre-pandemic, VOICE served 465 students and still had wait lists at every school. The need is even bigger now, and we'd love your help. VOICE provides robust training and support throughout the year and is flexible with scheduling.
