One-on-One Mentoring
Mentors and mentees will meet for one hour on a weekly basis. Mentors and mentees are matched based on shared interest. One-on-one mentoring will occur for one full year. Together, matches will discuss the theme of that week and/or any relevant topic specific to the mentee. This may include homework, school, the community, family, friends, sports, etc. Ongoing academic support will also be available to the mentee. The pair will also be encouraged to participate in relationship-building activities or events that are important to the mentee. The main purpose is to develop and strengthen the bond between the mentor and mentee by allowing for direct, one-on-one time. All Mentors have to take our mentor training class as well as pass a background check before we would match them with a youth.
