Mission Statement
Our vision is that all children achieve success in life. Our Mission is to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported 1-to-1 relationships that change a child's life for the better, forever. We hold ourselves accountable for each child we mentor achieving: - higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships, - avoidance of risky behaviors, and - educational success.
Description
We are a 1-to-1 mentoring program. We recruit, screen, match and supervise adults who become friends, role models, and mentors to at-risk children in San Juan County (serving Aztec, Bloomfield, Farmington, Kirtland, Nenahnezad, Newcomb, and Shiprock). Children and families are also screened to determine whether this program is appropriate for them.
