East Granby Youth Services- Mentorship
We are the East Granby Youth Services - Mentorship Program. We have the pleasure of visiting your children at the end of the school day once a month.
The mentorship program, aims to educate your children with the tools and knowledge that they need to live a mentally informed and stable life. However, there is more to it than that. Children naturally look up to older youth in their community as role models. The mentorship program leverages this, by having middle and high school students as the teachers, or mentors. This also has the doubled sided effect of teaching our mentorship members more about mental health and fostering leadership and communication skills as well as how to work with youth, and much much more.
The group meets once a month to form a entertaining, yet informative lesson that is designed to help you children retain the information, while also having fun doing it. We are really excited to be entering our 4th year of operation. Throughout these years, one of the main pieces of feedback we have received is that the parents would really like to hear more about what we are talking about in the classroom.
So going forward, each month when we go into the school, you can come back here to see a new newsletter discussing not only what we did in the classroom, but also how you can continue the conversation with your child at home.
