Our mentor program is nine to twelve months depending on the needs of the child/teen/young adult. We believe that in order to make a difference consistency and time spent with each mentee is a must.
Our program is as follows:
Meet with Parent(s)/Guardian(s): Explain who we are, what we plan to do, and find out your desired goals for your child/teen/young adult.
Meet with the Mentee: Because every child/teen/young adult is unique, we will use this time to get to know and tailor a program specifically for them.
With all of the information gathered, we will brainstorm with our team to find the perfect plan for your child/ teen/ young adult. We then meet with both parties to discuss the program plan and make sure everyone is on the same page.
