OTTAWA — Ottawa’s Community in Schools will have a meeting tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 at Garfield School to ask Ottawans to take part in the group’s Youth Friends mentoring program. The program helps reduce dropouts and prevents many kids from getting into trouble, said Community in Schools executive director Becky Nevergold. Volunteers are asked to commit up to one hour a week to partner with an Ottawa elementary school child.
