What is a Mentor?
A mentor is a caring, compassionate adult who chooses to devote their time to a young person, offering them support, guidance, and encouragement. If you can mentor once a week, you can change a life by helping a child build a solid foundation of values, establish goals, improve their academic and life skills, while developing their self-esteem and confidence.
Why Become a Mentor?
Our success rate at TSIC Nassau is a result of a comprehensive approach provided by our program. One of the key and proven success factors is the role of the mentor. More and more people want to have a lasting, profound impact in our community. They understand that the commitment of becoming a mentor can change a child’s life while helping them grow personally. Can you remember adults who paid attention to you; who believed in you; and who guided you during your childhood? These individuals served as mentors. Wouldn’t you like to have someone think of you as their life-changing, trusted mentor?
When & Where Does Mentoring Occur?
Mentoring sessions range from 30-40 minutes and occur weekly on campus, during school hours. The days and times of mentoring sessions are arranged between the mentor and mentee depending on their individual schedules. There is also a secure, mobile app that mentors and mentees can use to video chat when in-person sessions are not an option.
