Youth Mentor
Project Description:
| |
TOGEHTER Mentoring is a non-profit youth mentoring program offered by the Neighborhood Involvement Program (NIP). Youth mentoring is important because it pairs an adult volunteer with a young person who needs or wants a caring, responsible adult in their lives. T.O.G.E.T.H.E.R. serves youth 5th-8th grade. Qualified children for the program live in North Minneapolis. The program aims to help children reach educational and personal goals by matching them with a mentor who will meet with them once a week for one hour. By matching a child with a qualified mentor, they will be able to see themselves grow from a child into a young adult.

Additional Skills Required:

Mentors come from all different backgrounds. The one thing they have in common is a desire to be a positive influence in a child’s life. Mentors need to commit to meeting one-on-one with a child once a week for at least one school year. The mentor is someone who will help a child with their school work; as well as teach them skills they can use within the community. Examples include helping with homework, reading a book together, playing chess, filling out job applications together, cooking a meal, discussing professional goals, etc.
