in-school programs
Our in-school programs provide one on one and group mentoring for youth in the Brunswick and Freeport school systems from kindergarten to the seventh grade
Over the school year, mentors spend time building meaningful relationships with students through playing games, drawing, or having in-depth conversations. The goal is to create a safe and judgment-free space for students to be heard and seen.
Currently, our programs work in Morse Street School, ( 12 kids K- 2nd) Mast Landing School (3rd - 5th grade) a 6th-grade boys group, and 7th-grade girls group at the Brunswick Junior High School .
