Our mentoring program will provide a stable relationship for your son or daughter with a dependable volunteer mentor from your community. A Mentor is someone your child can learn from and look up to; someone who can devote special one-to-one time to your child and give encouragement and motivation to reach life goals. To enroll your child: STEP 1: Attend the Parent/Guardian Training Session Please bring the following pieces of information with you: -your child’s social security number -name of your child’s school -if your child is seeing a counselor for any reason, please bring us the counselor’s name and contact information STEP 2: Once all your materials are collected, evaluated and approved, we will pre-match your child with a Mentor and discuss the volunteer’s details with you. With your approval of the Mentor, a meeting will be set up so that you, your child and the Mentor can meet and set goals for the mentoring relationship.
