Mentors

Through appropriate role modeling, and a warm and accepting attitude, a mentor can become the one adult who a child can turn to when the going gets rough. The Aleinu Mentoring program will give our youth the added support needed to navigate through challenging stages of their lives. Mentors are required to volunteer at least one hour per week in order to build a relationship with a child or teen. This relationship allows both parties the opportunity to have a great time while engaging in a meaningful program that has the capacity to change both of their lives.

Research confirms that mentored youth experience: improves attendance, provides a better chance of going on to higher education, and better attitudes towards school. Additionally, mentoring appears to help prevent substance abuse and reduce negative at-risk behaviors while promoting positive social attitudes and relationships. Mentored youth tend to trust their parents more and communicate better with them.

Aleinu Mentors are provided with a complete training and ongoing support and supervision to help both the mentor and the youth benefit most from their experience.

One hour a week can go a long way in the life of a child or teen.
