Truancy
Intervention Program (TIP)
TIP is designed to assist habitually truant middle and high school
students in returning to school with regular attendance (Oshkosh
area). College-age volunteers serve as mentors to these students,
meeting with them at their school on a regular basis. Besides being
an excellent source of support and encouragement, they advocate
for the student, assist with organizational & study skills and
provide tutoring. As a positive role model, mentors can demonstrate
the connection between regular attendance and academic success.
