Parent mentors meet with their mentee once per week for 30 minutes at the Center for Worship and Service (1701 S. Tuttle Avenue). The role of the parent mentor is to support parents in overcoming barriers in reaching their academic goals, to check in weekly to see how they are doing and to discuss their progress. Parent mentors are outside of the parent’s social network which provides a less threatening arena to discuss successes and obstacles without fear of judgment or social impact. Parent mentors are invited to attend Monday night dinner with their mentees and to meet with other mentors.
Time Commitment: ½ hour weekly and attend scheduled mentor meetings once every two weeks.
Main Goal: Relationship building, support with academic goals.
