The
Mentorship Program was created to help and guide today’s youth to
becoming tomorrow’s leaders. We place students with mentors that
they speak to on a weekly basis.
Mentors
are there to assist families in helping these young people to strive
and succeed. Mentors make sure that things are going well in school
and at home, and to help arrange tutoring if the student is having
trouble in their classes.
Once
a month all staff, youth, and mentors get together for a monthly
meeting. At these meetings, issues pertinent to the students lives
and futures are discussed.
There
are also special occasions where everyone gets together to perform
community service. This helps to create a sense of community awareness,
and to show students the need to give back to society, rather than
just taking from it.
The
Mentorship Program arranges for students to work in a business setting,
and guarantees students pay will not be less than the living wage.
This
helps students learn about business and develop skills. They also
strive to get an education, which will help them create the ability
to obtain a good job in the future.
The
program creates a family environment between students, their families,
mentors, and staff . This bond carries on even after students graduate
from high school.
The
sense of belonging that the program creates continues throughout
the lives of all who have been involved. The Mentorship Program
continues to grow and make a difference for many youth with the
goal of "Inspiring, Educating, and Guiding Future Leaders".
Our
Mission
The
Buffalo/Niagara Mentorship Program, Inc. endeavors to help youth
recognize the value of pursuing academic excellence and matriculation
to the graduate level and beyond.
We
are also dedicated to providing youth with the opportunity to interact
with mentors in various workplace settings to observe and learn
leadership and managerial skills.
Preparing
youth to strive, to recognize their potential, and to achieve their
personal and professional goals is the sincere mission of our coalition.
