Make an Impact - Become a Mentor!
Program Design
Navigators Mentor Program is a
school-based mentoring program for youth with multiple risk
factors. The program includes several components:
Mentoring —
Mentors meet with students on their school campus in a structured, supervised program one day a week during lunch
Community
Service—
During their weekly meetings, mentees and mentors develop & plan community
projects and summer activities with the help of community groups and
other members of Navigators. Projects are planned and completed each
quarter
In addition to the weekly meeting with mentors, students are
also supported through:
Tutoring—
Mentees are encouraged, and provided incentives, to participate in after
school programs which include tutoring
Parent
Involvement—Parents
are invited to participate through staff visits to the home, Family Nights &
Parent University classes
The Navigators Mentor Program goes beyond building a
relationship —
we help
you
help kids navigate the transitions of life!
