continuity

The school-based mentor program asks volunteers to make a minimum of a one year
commitment. The hope is that this one year commitment will grow to a multi-year commitment that sees the student through their 8th grade year. In some situations, it may be possible for those relationships to carry on to high school by transitioning to a community-based relationship. This would require a new background check that includes driver records and allows independent meetings wherever the pair decides to meet. The Mentor Connector would provide the umbrella insurance to cover this arrangement, and the time can be spent attending events, going out for a meal, attending a performance, and more.

A longer relationship translates to a more meaningful impact.
