WHAT THEY DO: All adult volunteers are interviewed, undergo criminal background checks, and comprehensive screening before being matched with a child. The Program Coordinator then matches the child with mentors based on age, gender, location, interests, and mentor’s previous experience working with youth. Our Program Coordinator is also responsible for maintaining a relationship with the mentee’s parent and/or guardian. We provide support, structure, and supervision needed to make sure everyone experiences a safe and positive relationship throughout their experience.
