The Mentor Program is what makes our school community so open and welcoming to new families. Every year more than 100 new students join YIS, coming from other schools within the region or moving from overseas. Most of them don't know our school nor Yokohama/Japan and it's for them that the Mentor Program was set up.
As a mentor, you will be in contact with a new family from the same grade as your child. It's nothing big - just email or meet them, answer questions they might have about the new school. But for the new family this means a lot, makes them feel welcome and helps them find their way in a completely new environment.
Thank you for volunteering to be a mentor for new YIS families joining us in the 2022-2023 school year.
