The Montgomery County Truancy Prevention Program (TPP) is actively recruiting volunteers!
As a part of the crime prevention initiatives established by the MD State’s Attorney’s Office, TPP works to improve attendance in MCPS by discovering the root causes of truancy and assisting students with issues that impact attendance. The program serves 26 MCPS schools and additional Volunteers are needed to expand our Program! Serving as a volunteer Mentor or Facilitator is a rewarding way to utilize your expertise. The program is a ten week commitment of 2-3 hours a week. Volunteers meet with students who are chronically absent, helping students set goals to improve their attendance. Students who complete the program successfully are invited to a graduation ceremony at the end of each semester. You will see the impact on students and their proud families as they gather to celebrate their successes. For more information please contact Rebecca Marcolini at 240-777-7370 or email Rebecca.Marcolini@MontgomeryCountyMD.gov
