School-based
mentors give an hour a week during the structured school day to
work with elementary, middle, or high school aged youth. All the
schools in the Capital School District are sites for mentoring.
Mentors in the school-based program will focus on developing
their mentee's academic success as well as social and emotional
health.
Community
Based Program
(Big
Brothers Big Sisters)
Youth identified for this program
are between the ages of 6-17 and are being raised by a single
parent. These mentors visit their mentee two to four times a
month, after school or on the weekends. Through this program,
a mentor may choose to be matched with a child who has an
incarcerated parent.
High
School Students as Mentors
High school student mentors are
screened and trained, and are required to make the same
commitment as adult volunteers. These students will be matched
with a mentee in a supervised site-based mentoring relationship.
