Drawing And Truth (DAT) is a Mentoring Program for Middle School and High School aged youth (13-18 year-olds) who have experienced or witnessed trauma. It runs throughout the school year from Mid-October to the end of June on Saturdays, typically from 12pm - 4pm.
DAT is unlike typical Mentoring programs where Mentor & Mentee are assigned as pairs. Instead, DAT works as a social group where participants do fun and educational activities together including drawing/painting, crafts, ice skating, bike riding, etc. Mentors select and plan the activities based on the interests of the youth and the resources that are available in New York City!
Being a DAT Mentor is one of the most fun and rewarding volunteer positions at Womankind because it is structured as a full year position with the chance to return cycle after cycle. Volunteers who are selected to be a DAT Mentor develop lasting connections with the youth and with fellow Mentors!
For a full description of the group and expectations & requirements for the mentor role, please contact DAT@iamwk.org.
