�� Become a Mentor. Change a Life. Join the Truancy Prevention Program! ��
Are you a criminal justice student passionate about making a difference in your community? The
Truancy Prevention Program (TPP) is now recruiting volunteers for our upcoming mentoring
cohorts — this a valuable opportunity to support a proactive approach to crime prevention
and make a meaningful, lasting impact.
�� Cohorts begin every February (Spring Semester) and September (Fall Semester) — but
onboarding starts early, so apply soon!

�� What Is TPP?
TPP is a powerful initiative from the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office that
tackles the root causes of truancy. By mentoring students and supporting their families, we help
improve school attendance and set students on a path to success.
�� Currently active in 24 middle schools and 3 high schools, TPP is growing — and we need
dedicated volunteers to help us expand our reach!

�� Why Volunteer?
Becoming a TPP mentor is more than just volunteering — it’s an opportunity to:
 Support students facing chronic absenteeism by helping address the root causes of their
challenges
 Foster meaningful relationships with youth and their families through consistent
mentorship
 Engage in community-focused service that reflects a commitment to justice and early
intervention
 Celebrate the progress and success of students at a graduation ceremony at the end of
each semester!

�� What’s the Commitment?
 Just 2–3 hours per week for 10 weeks
 Sessions are held once a week on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday
(depending on the school) 
 Start times vary by school: 8:30 AM, 9:00 AM, 12:30 PM, or 1:00 PM 
 All sessions take place during weekday business hours 

�� See the Impact 
Students who complete the program are honored at a graduation ceremony — and mentors are
invited to celebrate alongside them and their proud families. It’s a moment you’ll never forget.
