"A mentor is a trusted adult friend with a long-term, consistent commitment to provide guidance and support to a youth focused on assisting the development of the character and capabilities of the young person." - The Mentoring Connection
Help ignite powerful change in the lives of urban youth:
Be a MENTOR!
|
Requirements:
• Have a belief in God and Jesus Christ, His son
• High School graduate (some high school seniors accepted )
• Pass background check
Responsibilities:
• Commitment. Choose a day and time and commit to that schedule.
• Build a relationship with your mentee.
• Only make promises you’re sure you can keep.
• Model ethical, kind and conscientious behavior.
• Attend Fortress-sponsored mentor event once per semester |
|
Hours:
Once per week, on Monday – Thursday, any hour between 3:30 and 5:45. We ask that you pick one day and commit to being here on that day each week for one hour – preferably the same hour each week.
Location:
Fortress YDC, 712 E. Stella, 76104 (on the northbound I-35 service road just southeast of downtown, off the Rosedale exit).
Our kids often come from lives riddled with broken promises and uncertainty. Our mentor program strives to foster a sense of wellbeing and value in our kids by establishing committed, genuine, positive relationships that the kids can come to depend on and grow in.
As you get to know your mentee, you may realize that the best way to build a relationship is just by helping him with homework, or by working on a project together, or by reading or playing games. We give you very few parameters – we just want you to commit to a kid and then love him and watch him succeed!
