“Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction. ”

John C. Crosby

Who Is A Good Mentor?

1.  Someone Available
Can you commit to facilitating a group of 8-10 students weekly throughout the school year with a co-mentor?

2.  Someone Dependable and Naturally Curious
Can you be both physically present and emotionally dependable? Are you excited and interested in the youth and their wellbeing over a period of time?

3.  Someone Invested in Helping Youth to Grow
Are you patient and understanding of time needed to develop group mentoring relationships? There are no magical quick results.
