Mentors meet weekly with students and offer academic guidance, support, and friendship.
Students and their parents meet as a group six to eight times a year. Participants receive age-appropriate alcohol and drug information and learn where to go for help. Children from chemically-dependent homes are a special focus. The group meets bimonthly and guest speakers address a wide range of topics in a supportive group environment, including cultural identity and self-esteem, academic success, goal setting, health concerns, alcohol and drug issues, and career opportunities. Guest speakers from the Latina community participate as role models and facilitators.
