The One-to-One mentoring program matches willing adults with 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 mentee. 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 our 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 know anyone who may be interested, please let us know! The winter Mentor Trainings are Tuesday, January 26, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Urbana Free Library and Tuesday, February 9, 11:30-1:30 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?
