Volunteer with Project E!

Research shows that students too often lack the adult contacts that are important for earning a diploma.  To help fill that void, Expectation Graduation created a “virtual” mentoring program to keep students on track toward graduation.

Virtual mentoring uses BlackBerrys to allow immediate communication! 

Thanks to donations by Research in Motion (RIM) and Verizon, an electronic mentoring pilot program has been implemented at Houston Independent School District’s Lee High School.  Student receive BlackBerry devices so they can have instant communication with their mentors and teachers.

Communities in Schools Houston is expanding the program!

In order to expand the program, Expectation Graduation has sought the help of Communities in Schools Houston (CISH).  CISH will administer the program, known as “Project E!”  In the 2008 – 09 school year, Project E! included two Houston ISD high schools.

Lamar High School

Reagan High School

The mentoring program will be integrated into other services provided by CISH such as tutoring, after school programs, cultural activities and job preparation.
