Keystone High School’s student volunteer mentors.

Can model high school students impact others? Can they help younger learners increase their use of critical thinking,
interpersonal and con?ict resolution skills? Can they provide a safe and comforting environment for these students? At
Keystone, the answer is a certain and vehement yes.

These objectives are met in Keystone’s Big Cats & Little Cats Peer Mentoring Program. In its second year of incep-
tion, the program fosters positive relationships between students at the elementary and middle school levels with high
school students. Working as mentors, KHS students tutor, play games, read and make arts and crafts with the students.
But most importantly, they listen to the concerns of their mentees and build a high level of trust in the relationship by
creating a judgment-free environment.

This year, 35 high school students volunteered to be mentors to 34 middle and elementary school students. Second
year volunteer Adeline Smith comments, “A lot of students needed someone to talk to, and it was great to be able to
support them and give them advice in addition to being a positive role model. We played many games and activities that
helped them open up and have fun, and through these activities, we were able to see how their personalities developed.
I am participating in the program again because of the great time I had last year and to continue to be a role model to
Keystone’s younger students.”

Adeline and other students share her commitment to the program to make it a success by volunteering their free time
to impact the lives of younger students.
