The Child Advancement Project (CAP), was established in 1989 and matches nurturing community volunteers who provide support and encouragement to children grades K-12.
These mentors work one-on-one with children to increase academic and social competency and to enhance opportunities for academic challenge. They help students establish meaningful goals and develop a belief in their individual uniqueness and their ability to shape their own futures. Their efforts complement those of the teacher and the family.

Parents, teachers and students are talking about CAP
“CAP mentors provide extra support for students emotionally, socially and academically. They give that “extra” that teachers can’t always give to all students all the time.” —Teacher 2009
“His academics are great. He needs help with social development and his mentor has really seemed to help with that. We can really tell a difference in him and would love for the progress to continue. Thank you so much for this program!” —CAP Parent
“I always look forward to telling her what I have been doing over the week. I feel like I can tell her things and she can be honest with me.” —CAP Student
