Thank you Three Rivers Three Rivers MI Rotary Club for inviting us to share about TRAM!

Mary Yost, executive director of TRAM Three Rivers Area Mentoring, shared about their program that makes a difference in students’ lives.

TRAM offers a free after-school program at the First United Methodist Church, one-on-one mentoring, and a summer day camp at the Huss Project, all for second– through eighth-grade students.

They believe that everyone in Three Rivers should be working together toward the singular goal of ensuring the long-term success of our young people. In partnership with the teachers and staff of Three Rivers Community Schools, TRAM is part of a team that includes its staff and volunteers, mentors, the students’ parents and guardians, and the students themselves.

Their after-school program meets five days a week from 3-6 p.m. They offer one on one homework help, healthy snacks, service-learning programming, field trips, special visitors, and lots and lots of exercise. They are currently capped at 50 students, but would like to grow in capacity with a larger volunteer base.

TRAM has partnered with the Huss Project to allow them to bring students to their grounds during the months of September, October, April, and May. While at Huss, students learn about agriculture and ecology while doing service in the community.

They also partner with the Three Rivers Public Library for crafts, cooking, reading, science, and the ability to check out books.

Mentors work one-on-one with students at their school during the school day or at the after-school program. Mentors are intentionally matched with mentees with similar backgrounds and interests. Mentors can help with schoolwork, play games, or teach special skills or hobbies.

TRAM will be starting a Mendon Academic Program this Fall.
