What can one lunch hour a week do for a young person? A LOT!! Help a youth take positive steps in their life by being a caring adult who shows up each week. All of our schools have waiting lists for kids to get a mentor. You are needed!! AND, you can pick your neighborhood school! (District 77 schools)
Program Overview:
1) Teachers or other school personnel refer students who could benefit from adult friendship and support.
2) Mentors commit to meeting with the students for an hour a week throughout the school year.
3) Mentors meet one-to-one with the students at the school during the school day.
4) While mentors and students might spend some time on school work, they also engage in other activities (such as playing sports and games, exploring the Internet, doing artwork, writing a story, eating lunch together, talking) that help build a strong relationship.
