FOUR HUNDRED VOLUNTEERS.
FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS.

1 Hour For Kids seeks to recruit 400 new volunteers, specifically for middle school students.

Why focus on middle school students?

Middle school is a critical juncture in any student’s life. During middle school, kids are going through major life and academic changes. Gaps in educational achievement increase rapidly. The middle school years are exactly when we need to be there to help.

Yet adults tend to volunteer heavily with elementary school students, while the number of volunteers drops sharply for middle school.

How much of a difference can we make for our middle school students?

Research shows that middle school students with at least one supportive adult in their lives are almost twice as likely to graduate as those who do not.
