Through this initiative, AUSL will build off our existing culture and climate by empowering educators to support student social and emotional development. We understand the importance of providing every student with 1) a trusted adult and 2) a safe space. In response to COVID-19, this grant will help reconnect students to the supportive relationships that exist at school by providing mentorship to our students. To do so, we will expand and reimagine our after-school Mentorship Clubs led by our teachers, counselors and education support professionals.
