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, the goal being to create a safe and judgment-free space for students to be heard and seen

Benefits of school-based mentoring

  • A person with a grey knit hat, face mask, checked shirt, orange vest, and dark pants is standing indoors on a tan carpeted floor, with a bookshelf filled with books and games behind them. A large window behind them shows snow outside.

    Builds Trust

    The reliable routine of in-school mentorship allows students to build trustworthy and honest relationships with adults who support and empower their aspirations and passions.

  • Children playing with LEGO bricks on the floor of a classroom near bookshelves, with windows in the background

    Helps with Social Behaviors

    Mentoring is known to improve a student’s self-confidence and self-worth, helping them with communication, dealing with emotions, and having healthier interactions with their peers, teachers, and families.

  • Children sitting at a table with a tray of food, including an apple, salad, milk carton, and yogurt cups, near a window.

    Experiencing Different Perspectives

    Mentoring gives both the mentor and mentee the opportunity to see things beyond their own experience, to see a bigger or a different picture.
