Are you ready to
-Have Fun
-Change a young person’s life
-Inspire
-Coach your student through the tough transition years?
If so you are ready to be a mentor! Our mentors are there to help guide the students in creating their lives. They meet with their student 3 times a month, once to attend a workshops where the student learns how to deal with the hardships of middle school, and the 2 other times the mentor and student just hang out and have fun.
At our monthly workshops the students learn skills that will help them navigate different hardships that are typical during middle school. Some of these topics include, cyber bullying, social media safety, healthy living, and drugs and dating violence.
When you and your student meeting for your one-on-one time, you are supposed to have fun, and get to know each other. Your job as a mentor, is to be an older, wiser, friend, and help guide your student to take responsibility for their mistakes and help them learn the rights and wrong of life by talking through all options.
Our mentors meet the students where they are at in life. Each mentor and student relationship is a little different, some matches are going to be more academically driven, while others are going to be more focused on talking about life.
If you’re ready to learn more, or ready to commit to making a difference in a student’s life, during some of the hardest years they are going through, then email us at jmhodges@empowermentoring.org to get started!
