BE A MENTOR

CAN YOU BE A MENTOR?

Mentors commit to meeting with their mentees one hour a week during the school day for one school year. Although we just require a one-year commitment, our hope is the mentors will recommit at the end of that year and, if possible, continue through high school graduation.

​

  • Have genuine concern for children

​

  • Be able to independently navigate the building and meet with a mentee without the assistance of school district personnel

​

  • Communicate effectively to engage with a mentee in an effective and enriching manner

GETTING STARTED

​

  • Participate in an interview/screening session

​

  • Complete a fingerprint-based criminal background check (provided at no cost by the school districts)

​

  • Attend a two-hour training session

​

  • Agree to come to your mentoring sessions consistently and stay with your mentoring relationship for at least one year
