Description

Description The majority of our students are at schools that are ranked in the bottom 10% of schools nationwide, and 1 in 4 high schoolers is college-ready. With a commitment of as little as 1 hour a week you can make a difference in a youth's life through our Covenant Group small group mentoring at Bresee Foundation. What a mentoring session will look like: We will have some large group and/or small group ice breakers followed by discussion with 4-5 high schoolers on peer pressure, school, friends, etc. Journaling and arts & crafts are included every week. Field trips. Lessons and discussion questions will be provided. What: Covenant Group small group mentoring When: 1 hour per week for one school year (Sept. 2010-May 2011, Most likely Tuesdays 5:30-6:30) Please contact us at 213.387.2822 x111 or volunteer@bresee.org. Skills * Positivity: * Ability to read and follow directions. *Positivity * Desire to help youth succeed * Mentors do not need to coordinate lessons as lesson plans are provided, and the greatest need amongst kids is encouragement, which everyone can give. * Volunteers must be 18 or older. Requirements * Adults 18 and over pass background check: Livescan prints, TB test, and references checked. * Mentor training upon acceptance with one inservice training in spring 2011.
