APS- Mentoring Program

Save to Favorites

Juvenile Court of Memphis & Shelby County is pleased to announce the implementation of our APS Mentoring Program.

The mission of this program is to collaborate with citizens of Memphis and Shelby County and redirect children identified by the Court as being in the very early stages of delinquency by effectively using a combination of mentoring activities such as life skills training, job skills training, motivational speeches, recreational activities, common sense counseling and anger management counseling.

Goals

1. To provide youth with positive alternatives to delinquent activities.
2. To encourage and support the child as he/she explores the benefits of a positive, productive lifestyle.
3. To provide accurate reports on each child in the program to the Court.
4. To serve as role models for the children to follow.
5. To contribute to a significant decrease in recidivism of children referred to APS Mentoring from the APS Summons Division.

We greatly appreciate and respect the time dedicated by our volunteers, so program requirements such as training and paperwork is always time efficient. However, a background check of volunteers is required to help ensure the safety of our children.

We would love to partner with you.
