Maji Mentoring Program Baxter Community Center is home to the Mizizi Maji Mentoring Program. Mizizi is a Swahili word for root. Maji is Swahili for Water. Many families have an over-whelming lifestyle and are unable to provide the necessary guidance and encouragement that children so desperately need during their formative years. A Mentor is a wise and trusted friend.
Mentors walk along side students to encourage, nurture, guide, and give support.
Mentors help provide the avenue which allows students a much greater opportunity to maximize their full potential. The Mentors in the Mizizi Maji Mentoring Program at Baxter are building wholesome relationships with the students by participating in a life skills curriculum and fun activities. Fun activities are planned by the student and mentor in the weeks between.
