Mentors provide youth with discipline, guidance, and personal attention.
These programs which provide positive examples are an investment in the future of our young people. Over a three year period, the program will match at least 110 youths with adult mentors who have been chosen from a diverse community pool of business leaders, police officers and other local officials. The Board will also be available to the community for consultation and recommendations pertaining to neighborhood disputes. The program will focus on youth between the ages of 11-15 and will place emphasis on the importance of being culturally sensitive, obtaining a good academic standing and being actively involved in the community. Special trips and events for participants and their families will make-up a large component of the program.
