Why is mentorship important?

Having a mentor in your life can be a very positive experience. 

Mentors are invested in your success, they want you to succeed and reach your goals. 

Mentors are there to support you, they are a ear to listen, a friend to vent to and a support system to encourage you. 

Mentors will build you up, hold you accountable, motivate you and recognize that some days are just plain hard and that's okay.  

Mentors are like free life coaches!

• Mentees are those being mentored. 
• Mentees are encouraged to connect with their mentors at least once a week. 
• Mentees are encouraged to meet with their mentor at least once a month face to face.  Meetings in the mentees home are preferred. *** During these times, we request scheduled zoom or similar web meeting to connect if in person meetings are not possible.  
• Mentees are encouraged to become involved with a local church or other support organization and attend functions on a regular basis, with their children, as possible. 

Unlike other similar programs, there is no time limit on our mentorship program. Mentors and parents are requested to commit to at least a 1 year commitment to ensure success and sustainability.
