Our program matches volunteer individuals, couples, and families with children ages of 6 – 9 for mentoring relationships. The mentor/mentee matches meet 3-4 times each month for at least one year. Nearly 70% of our matches continue into a second year and over 50% into a third. Activities between the mentor and mentee are a collaborative decision – the child is included in the mentor's everyday activities. Our goal is early intervention and long-term relationships that transform individual lives, families, communities, and generations.
