Every Child Deserves the Opportunity to Succeed. You Can Help.
We’re looking for mentors and tutors to support the On Track to Success Program.
Mentoring Builds Confidence
Janice Smith, a member of Women United, had an ‘aha’ moment while mentoring On Track to Success Students in West Windsor.
“All students learn in very different ways. And so with each student, I feel like I try to figure out how they learn best, whether it’s drawing things out or saying it out loud or showing images, just trying to find what works best for them.”
-Adam, On Track to Success Academic Tutor
Volunteer Opportunities
Support student learning by providing academic guidance on assignments to ensure students stay on track in school and reach their goals.

Support students in their social and emotional development through guided activities that improve soft skills, positive identity, and resilience – qualities that contribute to success in school and life.
