SPEF’s program delivers to third and fifth grade classes in Stamford’s public schools. During weekly mentoring sessions, mentors and mentees discuss topics related to Service-Learning,such as stocking shelves at the Food Bank, creating and sending holiday cards to soldiers, and cleaning up school playgrounds and parks.
