Mentoring Opportunities for Vocation and Education |
| Vision Statement |
We envision an inclusive community where all members can reach their full potential. |
| Type of Mentoring (e.g. school, community, group, etc) |
One on one, community based mentoring. Project MOVE asks mentors to commit to 4 hours a month. The time schedule is flexible and is determined by each match, depending on their availability. The intent of the program is to facilitate informal mentoring matches, where youth have a reliable, caring adult as a role model and friend. The mentor provides a “fresh set of eyes”, helping the youth grow their self confidence and realize their full potential. |
