Get in on a Good Thing!

Circle’s Mentoring Program provides an opportunity for concerned adults to make a difference by sharing their lives with young people from our community.

Our Mentoring staff provides screening, training, and ongoing support to ensure the success of each mentoring match. Mentors and their mentees (4th-8th graders) are matched for a minimum of 12 months, and they meet for an hour per week here at Circle and off-site for four hours during school vacations.

Through time spent helping with homework, playing a sport or game, or even cooking together, mentoring matches build a friendship which is aimed at ensuring the mentee’s success. Resources for activities and even a “Field Guide” full of activity ideas are provided by program staff.

   

In addition, our Alumni Follow-Through Encouraging Resolve (AFTER) program provides an opportunity for mentoring matches to continue beyond the students’ graduation from 8th grade.
