The Parent Mentor Program matches volunteer mentors with parents struggling against addiction, domestic violence, and other serious barriers to effective parenting.
Mentors help parents improve their parenting and living skills for heading a family.
The program assigns mentors to selected clients and former clients of social service agencies that have established a relationship with the program for providing mentors. A mentor listens and talks with a parent, shares simple skills, and takes the parent and their children on short outings. Most of the mothers have never received this kind of attention and appreciate experiencing it so that they can pass it on to their children.
