The One-to-One mentoring program matches willing adults with Champaign-Urbana students in 3rd -7th grade. The mentors receive an initial training and then come to the schools, during the school year once a week, to meet with their mentees. The pairs play games, visit, eat lunch, and share together. It is a hugely rewarding program that provides encouragement and support to kids who need it!
Here is the link to the website: http://cu1to1.org/ There is great information here for anyone who may be interested. We are currently recruiting and training our next group of mentors; so if you are interested or know anyone who may be interested, please let us know! The fall Mentor Training is Tuesday, October 7, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at the Mellon Administration Building (703 New St in Champaign).
There are students on our waiting list at every school…won’t you consider being a part of the life of a child?
