Become a Mentor
The number one indicator of a child's success is a relationship with a caring adult. As a Take Stock in Children mentor, you can help a deserving student by providing them with the motivation, guidance, friendship and support they need to succeed in school and life.
Mentoring is the key to success for Take Stock in Children students. Nationwide research shows that if a young person is mentored they are 52 percent less likely to skip school, 46 percent less likely to begin using illegal drugs, and 27 percent less likely to begin drinking alcohol.
Take Stock in Children students are matched with a caring adult mentor who meets with the student at his or her school once a week. Mentors work with one student for an entire school year and may opt to stay with the student throughout their duration in the program. Every new mentor receives mentor orientation and support prior to being matched with a mentee.
