​Our Peer Mentor program gives Twinfield's high school students the opportunity to become mentors in their school community. Student mentors are dedicated to making an impact and positively influencing the life of a child. They volunteer their time during the school day to meet one-on-one with a student each week and establish a meaningful friendship, giving both students something to look forward to each week.
