January is National Mentoring Month. To celebrate, Neighborhood House is launching the Recruit-A-Mentor Challenge, and they are trying to double the number of our CASASTART volunteer mentors .
Mentors are an important component of CASASTART. Each month, mentors join our students in various activities during after-school hours. These activities range from educational to simply hanging out. By being present each month, mentors become positive adult role models to our students which they may not otherwise have if it were not for the CASASTART program.
The time commitment is two hours per month with the students plus some planning time with the other mentors. We ask that mentors commit at least six months to the program.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Kate Farmer (katef@nhwa.org) for additional information.
