"Mentoring ensures that a youth has at least one supportive person in their life that can encourage growth and development and serve as a connection to their community. Youth involved in the same mentoring relationship for a year or more reported improvements in school work and social relationships. Mentors can be instrumental in helping youth develop and can be both a challenging and comforting agent on a youth"s journey toward independence.
Mentoring Overview: Volunteer Mentors and youth Mentees spend several hours per month together, sharing guidance, companionship, and creating a healthy bond. Matches are made based on shared interests and similar communication style with ongoing support from Jackson Street. Fun, engaging, and safe community outings take place for 12 months. This is a voluntary program for both youth Mentees and adult Mentors."
