The Sexual Assault Victim Advocate (SAVA) Center is looking for active, supportive individuals to be mentors to 8-12 year old boys and girls this summer!
Mentors will help facilitate lessons on self-esteem, teamwork, stereotypes, healthy friendships and violence prevention all while training for the Human Race 5k on Saturday July 28th!
As a mentor, your job would be to help facilitate the activities, help us keep the kids focused and under control, and to get to know the kids by developing relationships with them that allows them to feel safe asking questions about the topics we discuss. In addition, we pair each mentor with 2-3 kids to run the 5k with at the end of the summer.
Our goal is to have mentors attend at least 8 sessions throughout the summer (equaling about 1 hour volunteering per week). We ask mentors to try to attend the same group each week, because it helps the kids get comfortable. We also ask that mentors attend one of our 2-hour trainings, which are currently scheduled for May 30th from 6-8pm and June 2nd from 9-11am.
