Fort Bend ISD uses three different mentor models:

Community to Student: Trained community members are matched with a student at all grade-levels to provide various support(s) to their mentees based on campus recommendations.

District to Student: District employees mentor students to provide social emotional and/or literacy support in partnership with the campus team.

Peer-to-Peer: This model entails either high school upperclassmen mentor freshmen students or middle school 8^th graders who mentor 6^th grade students. The focus of peer mentoring is social-emotional health, decision-making skills, and a successful transition from each grade level.
