Burke Community Partnership sponsors five after-school sites throughout Burke County to serve students in grades Kindergarten through 5th. Two of these programs are located in the remote communities of Keysville and Gough making them accessible for students living in outlying rural towns. The programs were also held at Blakeney Elementary School, SGA Elementary School and Waynesboro Primary School. The after-school programs offer tutoring, homework assistance, recreation and daily snacks. The programs has served 150 students for the past two years.

In the BCP Mentoring Program, students are matched with individual, class and group mentors who serve as an adult friend or community partner to the students. Mentors are trained and commit to spend at least one hour per week with students. For the past two years, 148 students were served by 136 mentors. The program is held at Waynesboro Primary School, Blakeney Elementary School, SGA Elementary, Burke County Middle School, Burke County High School, and Burke County Alternative School.

Our mentors, both male and female, are recruited from churches, businesses, industry, civic and social clubs, parents and retirees in the community. Mentors are require to be older than 18 years of age. If you are interested in being a mentor, please contact BCP today!
