TRC, 22655 Wick, provides adult mentors to help lower-elementary school students who struggle with literacy. Among the attendees Monday were Taylor Mayor Rick Sollars and Taylor Community Schools Supt. Diane Allen, who had served on the corps’ founding board. Hill-Saunders told attendees that nearly 200 mentors serve with the corps. Volunteers typically spend a half hour per week with two students.
