Waco Temple Bryan, TX, September 29, 2026 —

Temple Independent School District (ISD) is calling for community engagement as its long-standing Wildcat Mentors program prepares to begin its 17th year of service. The initiative is currently seeking to enlist around 30 new male volunteers who will dedicate their time to mentoring over 100 fourth and fifth-grade students within the district.

The Wildcat Mentors program is designed with the fundamental goal of providing consistent, positive role models for young students. By offering guidance and support throughout the academic year, the program aims to foster personal growth and academic encouragement among the participating youth.

The need for additional male volunteers highlights the program’s commitment to ensuring that students have access to a diverse range of adult figures who can offer different perspectives and support systems. The recruitment drive focuses specifically on male mentors to connect with the students in ways that can be particularly impactful.

Throughout its 17-year history, the Wildcat Mentors program has established itself as a significant component of Temple ISD’s efforts to support student development beyond the traditional classroom setting. The program’s continuation underscores its perceived value by the district in contributing to the holistic well-being and success of its students.

Further details regarding the volunteer application process, time commitment, and specific responsibilities are expected to be made available by Temple ISD as recruitment efforts intensify. The program relies on the dedication of volunteers to fulfill its mission of positively impacting the lives of its fourth and fifth-grade participants.
