Why Mentoring?

The young people of today must cope with far more personal and social pressures than any other previous generation of youth. Early intervention through a structured mentor relationship may be able to give young people the tools and support they need to deal effectively with these pressures.

Understand the many social, psychological, and physical demands that the youth face is extremely important for any individual about to undertake the task of being mentor.

So, What exactly does a mentor do??

Mentors commit to spending a minimum of four to six hours each month with their student. Group activities are fun, but it is expected that the mentor and student will send time together, just the two of you. This time may be spent in a number of ways. The Mentor Site Coordinator will ask you to document your activities and hours regularly.
