Mentoring
Program: At Open Door we are
off to a good start with a new Mentoring Program. It is our goal
that The Open Door
Mentoring Program help to empower youth in our community to make
positive life choices that enable them to maximize their potential. The
Mentoring Program will invite adult volunteers to commit to supporting,
guiding, and being a friend to a young person for a period of at least
one year. By becoming part of the social network of adults and
community members who care about the youth, the Mentor can help youth
develop and reach positive academic, career, and personal goals.
To qualify, a youth must be between 10 and 18 years of age at the time
of enrollment and:
- Demonstrate a desire to participate in the program and be willing to abide by all Open Door Mentoring Program policies and procedures
- Be able to obtain parental/guardian permission and ongoing support for participation in the program
- Agree to a one-year commitment to the program
- Commit to spending a minimum of one hour per week with the mentor
- Complete the screening procedure
- Agree to attend Mentee training as required (the youth being Mentored is the "Mentee"
- Be willing to communicate regularly with the Program Coordinator and discuss monthly meeting and activity information
Further details may be found in the Open Door Mentoring Program Policies and Procedures Manual. Events can be found on our Calendar page.
