Talbot Mentors, Inc.

Description

Talbot Mentors provides local children in need with the additional guidance and encouragement of a caring adult friend. The organization recruits, screens and trains adult men and women to volunteer as mentors. Each mentor and mentee are thoughtfully matched taking mutual interests and personalities into consideration.

Participants meet for 1-2 hours a week outside of school. Popular mentoring activities include sports and outdoor activities, arts and crafts, attending community events, reading and doing homework, eating together and just hanging out. Program staff provide volunteers with ongoing support toward creating a positive mentoring experience for both the students and the mentors.
