Seeking Caregiver Peer Mentors
Seeking Caregiver Peer Mentors
Cambridge Families of Color Coalition launches a pilot Caregiver Peer Mentorship Program in partnership with CRLS Family Connection.
Volunteer mentors provide friendly, informal, and non-judgmental support to 9th grade caregivers navigating the high school.
Why Become a Mentor?
✔ Give back to the CRLS community
✔ Feel valued and connected as part of a supportive team
✔ Gain new skills and meet new people
✔ Help other caregivers feel more confident and supported
No experience necessary, just a desire to share what you know about navigating CRLS to help another caregiver.
Interested? Email us to learn more. info@cambridgefamiliesofcolor.org, CRLSFamConnection@gmail.com
Together, we can build a stronger and more connected caregiver community at CRLS.
The printed guidebook was distributed to 8th grade families at the January 28, 2026 information session at CRLS. Incoming families can ask your school's family liaison if you did not receive one.
The CRLS Family Guidebook
The CRLS Family Guidebook
We created this guidebook -- diligently reviewed by CRLS staff and printed by CRLS for rising 9th grade families-- so that all parents/caregivers have the information they need to support the success of their student at CRLS. Pick up your printed guidebook for 8th grade (rising 9th grade) at the January 28, 2026 CRLS information session for Rising 9th graders. See the online versions here:
