Youth Mentorship and Knowledge Advancement

Synopsis of Volunteer Opportunity

The Apogee 307 Foundation seeks 1-10 volunteers to mentor youth in grades K-8 at our education campus in Casper, WY, from September 2, 2025, to May 29, 2026. Volunteers will engage in weekly 3-hour shifts at 948 Glenarm, reading with kids, supporting math skills, or having conversations to spark curiosity and a love for learning. Background checks are required. Contact Becky Corkill (307foundation@gmail.com, 307-247-3598).

Relation to Foster Grandparent Program

This program aligns with the Foster Grandparent Program, where seniors mentor youth to support academic and personal growth, building meaningful connections and requiring background checks. Unlike the age-restricted Foster Grandparent Program, Apogee 307’s initiative welcomes all ages but prioritizes seniors over 55 if spots fill. It focuses on nurturing compassionate, curious individuals, fostering well-rounded humans through local engagement in Casper, rather than solely academic achievement.
