Schools are more than buildings and classrooms. They're places where children learn, discover who they are, build friendships, and prepare for their futures.

And students don't grow in isolation.

Families, educators, volunteers, organizations, and community members all have a role to play in creating supportive environments where young people can thrive.

That's why SSV connects community members with meaningful opportunities to support students in Springfield Public Schools.

We're proud to be part of the Springfield community.

Sometimes making a difference starts with simply showing up.

SSV mentors meet with a Springfield student once a week, building a consistent relationship through conversation, encouragement, activities, and support.

You don't need to be a teacher or have previous mentoring experience. SSV provides the training and support you need to feel prepared and confident in your role.

If you would enjoy getting to know, encouraging, and supporting a young person, and can make time once a week, mentoring may be just the opportunity for you!

Do you love books and enjoy spending time with young people?

Then SSV's Read Aloud Program is for you! Volunteers visit a classroom just once a month for five months, creating meaningful connections and helping students discover the joy of reading, without a weekly commitment.

No teaching experience is needed. SSV provides the training and support you need to feel prepared and confident.

Mentoring isn't about having all the answers—it's about being a consistent, caring adult who shows up week after week. Sometimes the greatest impact comes simply from being there.

Thank you to all of our mentors for the time, encouragement, and support you give to Springfield students every day.
