The Kimochis Service Learning Program is designed for middle or high school students to act as mentors to elementary school students in their district. It takes collaboration and communication between schools, teachers, and students, but it’s worth every effort. Middle and high school students get the opportunity to learn and practice the Kimochis skills as they teach their younger peers.
