MCEC Mentors (Sampson County)

The Mentor Program matches adult volunteers with at-risk youth ages 9 & up for one-on-one mentoring and small group mentoring events. The goal of the mentors is to help to increase social skills and positive decision making to reduce the likelihood of these youth offending or re-offending. The mentor model also assists the youth and his/her family with additional resources as well as provide any additional support.

Individual service plans are created for each youth to determine the specific needs of the youth . The mentors meet with the youth approximately 2 hours per week to work on positive youth development, skill building activities, homework, and recreation. Mentoring activities occur at the schools at the and/or in the community (i.e., library, parks and recreation centers, etc.).

All program activities require prior approval from the Program Manager.

Evidence based curriculum materials are utilized for skill building lessons.
