Mentoring

Make a difference. Try mentoring. It works!

What Is It? Mentoring – from the Greek word meaning enduring—is defined as a sustained relationship between a youth and an adult. Through continued involvement, the adult offers support, guidance and assistance as the younger person goes through a difficult period, faces new challenges or works to correct earlier problems. Mentors can play a critical role for children whose parents are either unavailable or unable to provide responsible guidance.

Why Are Mentors Needed? Research clearly shows that many youth have a desperate need for positive role models. One reason for this increased need includes changes in the American family structure. The number of single-parent homes has dramatically increased, as have two-parent working families. More preventive care is needed, as are support networks to fill the void left by busy or absent parents.

Our Mentoring Program

Services will be provided by a positive male or female role model.
