Bennington Public Schools Foundation

Serve as a mentor and meet with a student once a week, at school, over lunch. Mentors and mentees usually play board games, shoot hoops, do a craft, or just talk. The Foundation started the TeamMates Mentoring of Bennington chapter in the fall of 2014, because the administrators and counselors in our district saw a growing need for this type of program. To date, the Bennington chapter has approximately 87 mentor/mentee matches. A TeamMates mentor is someone who provides a young person with support, friendship and a positive example, inspiring them to reach their full potential. The Bennington chapter won National Chapter of the Year in 2023.
