Welcome to Project MASCOT
Mission Statement
Project MASCOT (Mentoring Alliance: Students and Communities Outreaching Together) is a one-year program for University of Florida student volunteers interested in helping and motivating elementary school children in the Gainesville area. Project MASCOT works in conjunction with CHAMPS (Collegiates Helping As Mentors in Public Schools) to offer mentoring for 30 minutes each week throughout the academic year to children that are deemed "at risk." At the end of the Spring term, the mentors and mentees will take a trip to a Florida theme park.
Formerly known as Project Sea World, Project MASCOT has strived to make a difference in the lives of underprivileged children for 11 years now. The program began as a vision of one student who recognized that more needed to be done by their fellow student volunteers regarding the needs of disadvantaged children. Project Mascot is a non-profit student organization, under the umbrella of University of Florida's Center for Leadership and Service, dedicated to the empowerment of children, benefiting a population of financially and emotionally disadvantaged children.
We are looking for mentors for the 2008-2009 school year! An application will be made available closer to the start of the Fall semester.
