 COMMUNITY RESOURCES COMMITTEE - Wynn Gandera, Subcommittee Co-Chairs

The Youth Mentoring subcommittee assists Community Resources Inc. (CRI), now in its 36 th year of serving DPS students. Their goals are to utilize the talents of community members to increase students' knowledge, to strengthen the partnership between school, families and business, and to provide opportunities for students to learn outside the school environment. DRCF's annual grant specifically funds their Academics Mentors Project in which high achieving at-risk students in grades 408 with a career dream or area of passion are matched with accomplished community volunteers (Rotarians) for a short-term academic/career experience. Volunteers are also needed as board members, advisors, mentors, classroom speakers, family night readers and science fair judges.
