What to Expect on Mentoring Nights

Arrival: Promptly at 5:45 pm to get settled and prepared for the evening ahead. Our program directors will provide you with any necessary updates or information.

Station Activities: Our mentoring program is designed to provide a well-rounded experience for the youth. We have dedicated facilitators for our stations in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), positivity & literacy, and movement. Each station has a facilitator who will lead engaging activities and provide materials for interactive learning and personal development.

Mealtime: At 7:00 pm, our wonderful meal volunteers will serve a delicious dinner for everyone to enjoy! This means you, too! This is a great opportunity to connect with the youth and fellow mentors in a communal setting.

Positive Role Model: As a mentor, you play a vital role as a positive role model and supportive guide throughout the evening. Interact with the children, listen actively, and offer encouragement and guidance. Your presence alone can inspire and motivate them to reach their full potential.
