We are currently recruiting Elon male students to volunteer as mentors in the CHAMPS program. This program matches Elon men one-on-one with a boy in 4th or 5th grade for mentorship and exercise. Program sessions take place on campus and include exercise circuits, sports skills training, and education on topics like fueling the body, being a team player, and handling peer pressure. Sessions will run on T and Th from 3:30-5 p.m. on the following dates: March 8, 10, 15,17,29,31, and April 5.
A mandatory training session will be held on March 1 from 4-5 p.m., and orientation is March 3 from 3:30-5 p.m. If interested in volunteering or just hearing more, contact Liz Bailey at 278-5862 or ebailey@elon.edu. This is a fun program that has been shown to have a positive effect on self-esteem and health behaviors in young boys. Check it out!
