YOUTH MENTORING PROGRAM
-
Parents/guardians or school guidance counselors refer students in grades 3-7 who would benefit from the support of an adult mentor.
-
Our evidence-based program matches thoroughly screened adults with students to form trust-filled connections that help increase the student's social-emotional skills and assist them in planning for their futures.
-
During COVID, the pairs will meet virtually, via Zoom, for one hour every two weeks during after school hours.
-
The pair will explore topics including goal setting, time management, managing anger and anxiety, and diversity and inclusion using a variety of resources including e-books or videos.
-
Mentors are provided with ongoing training (provided by the National Mentoring Partnership and other youth-serving organizations)
-
Mentors are required to obtain clearances including criminal background, child abuse, and FBI fingerprinting.
