A mentor is an adult who, along with parents, provides young people with support, friendship, reinforcement, and constructive example. Mentors are good listeners, people who care, and those who want to help young people develop existing strengths.
Becoming a mentor requires attending one two-hour training session, completing an application and a background check. Once qualified, the mentor commits to spending 30 minutes per week during school hours with a student for the school year and hopefully years to come.
