Andddd we’re back! We had a successful first week of after-school mentoring! Our program is looking a bit different this semester: in order to keep our mentors and students as safe as possible while we are operating we are currently not allowing outside mentors. Head mentors and the executive team are running the days and masks are required in addition to social distancing practices required of everyone on our team. We will keep updating everyone as the semester continues and with any changes that might occur. For now, stay safe and mask up! 🖤 (pics from last semester)

I think we can all admit how much we are missing the kids right now :(
If you've volunteered with us, you know how much the kids love tik tok, so Exec put together this video doing the and sent it to all the kids to hopefully brighten their day and to show them that we miss them and are thinking about them! Enjoy😂

✌🏽✌🏽 from Thomas Lay


We wanted to go ahead and officially make the call that our program will not be continuing for the rest of the semester due to the suspension of in-person class at UGA as well as Lay Park's closing to the public in light of the COVID-19 concerns. This is really hard for us, but we know that it is the best decision for our students, mentors, and community.

We greatly appreciate all the hard work our volunteers have put in this semester and we hope that those of you who are returning to UGA will plan on returning as Head Mentors next semester!
Thank you Seniors who have put so much time and love into our program over the course of multiple semesters, and for that we are so so grateful! We are so sorry that we were not able to end this program as originally planned, but thank you so much for all your work and passion! @ Lay Park
