Community Based Mentoring
How it works to strengthen our community
Children in fourth through ninth grade are matched with an adult role model, to engage in healthy activities they both enjoy. Matches meet in the community at least twice a month, in the after school hours.
Mentor pairs are thoughtfully matched:
Mentors and mentees are carefully matched based on similar interests, personality, and motivation in being part of our mentoring community. This makes being together a mutually enjoyable experience, increasing the impact of having a mentor in one's life. Click here to read stories of individual mentor pairs. Group Activities:
Mentors and mentees in the community program enjoy getting together as a group during program sponsored events. Group activities are one way mentors and mentees are supported through our program. Click here for more examples of group activities. |
Spending one-on-one time together:
Matches get together in the community doing things they both enjoy. Matches are encouraged to do free or low cost activities in our community, and often do the most simple things together. Some examples of things matches do together can be found by clicking here. Support from the program director:
Matches are supported through regular contact with the program director. Mentors receive a 2 hour orientation training, a monthly newsletter with suggestions of things to do, and ongoing support and training as needed. |
