About this Marketsite Event:
Matilda Raffa Cuomo, Founder and Chairperson of Mentoring USA, Mr. G, the CW11 News at Ten weather expert and acclaimed actor Charles Grodin, preside over the closing bell in honor of National Mentoring Month.
Mentoring USA, founded by Matilda Raffa Cuomo in 1995, is an effective, early-intervention mentoring program to prevent school dropout. By providing mentors at schools, community centers, and foster care agencies, Mentoring USA helps children, ages 7-21, improve their self-esteem, broaden their vision of opportunities and succeed in school. Our model has proven to be effective in helping a child to reach his or her full potential. When each child is matched with a trained, caring, adult volunteer mentor on a one-to-one basis, the child's grades improve, school absenteeism minimizes, and children gain new confidence and hope for the future.
