I've been an Elevator since 2017, and haven't looked back since the first day I walked into Piedmont. The consistent time commitment can seem like a lot-30 minutes once a week-but it is worth it. You may play basketball every week. Or, if you have a student like mine, you may play Connect 4 and Uno often. It isn't being a tutor. It isn't being a substitute parent. It isn't being a social worker. It is just giving that child 30 minutes of undivided attention a week, and instilling confidence in these wonderful children. I'm forever changed because of the thirty minutes a week I spend with my student.
