About Academy 4

Academy 4 is a volunteer mentoring program that connects churches to schools and communities through mentoring 4th graders in leadership. Learn more about our program below!

How does Academy 4 work?
One Friday each month, Academy 4 joins with each school and sponsors a three-part program:
1) Clubs - designed to give students new and varied experiences. The fourth graders choose from activities including cooking, animal science, drums, geology, drama, dance, golf, robotics, and many more!
2) Leadership Assemblies - During this time we provide encouraging messages to empower students toward leadership, using the acrostic LEADERS (Lead, Encourage, Attitude, Develop, Example, Respect, Serve).
3) Mentor Relationships - Caring adults from the community and their mentee discuss the leadership characteristic of the day. Then, each 4th grader and their mentor enjoy each others company during “Hang Time” where they can play games, go outside, read, or just hang out!

Academy 4 is a highly cooperative effort. Teachers, administrators, community volunteers along with community churches meet throughout the year to design and refine the program. You can take part too! Visit our website (www.academy4.net) and sign up now to be a mentor.

Be a part of something great! Volunteer today and make a difference!
