- Students are referred to the mentor program by school staff. Students are invited to participate and parent/guardian consent is required.
- All mentors are background screened and provided with an Orientation prior to beginning.
- Each school site has a Mentor Program Site Coordinator who manages all aspect of the program to support mentors and student mentees.
- Mentors engage in a variety of asset building activities with students on school grounds. The Site Coordinator has ideas for activities and games.
- Group activities are facilitated to engage students and their mentors in leadership development, team building activities, and community service are held during the school year.
