As a part of the crime prevention initiatives established by the State’s Attorney’s Office, the Truancy Prevention Program works to improve attendance in Montgomery County by discovering the root causes of truancy and assisting students and their families with issues that impact attendance. The program currently serves in 25 middle schools and 2 high schools and is looking to expand to every middle school in Montgomery County. Volunteers are needed to make it happen!
Mentors and the TPP team meet with students once a week for 10 weeks.
Our mission is to:
• Reduce school absenteeism
• Improve attitudes towards education
• Provide individualized mentoring and goal setting
• Help students to achieve their full potential!
