IN SCHOOL Mentoring
The In School mentoring program provides youth with a role model and a friend to talk to and share the experiences of growing up during the school year. For one hour a week, mentors meet with their mentees, in person, and engage in activities such as board games, crafts, sports, reading or just spending time together.
