Mentors serve as friends, role models and consistent sources of support by helping their mentee develop and reach their personal, academic and career goals. Most importantly, they build a fun, trusting, one-on-one relationship with their mentee. This is an opportunity to make a positive difference in the life of a young adult. Building a relationship with their mentee can be a slow process and mentors should be open to guidance, support, and creativity as they establish their relationship.
A program focusing on school readiness in the areas of language and cognitive development, early reading, science and mathematics, social skills, and physical development. Those who are eligible include children ages 0-5, families who meet federal income guidelines, pregnant women, families receiving SSI & TANF, and children diagnosed with disabilities, foster children and homeless families.
Available in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and Swahili.
