Looking for a way to give back to community by helping kids at risk in Denver, here's what I found on Denver's Mentorship programs.
Mentoring Kids
I have been wanting to be a mentor for some time and recently decided to become one after putting it off for years. Now I am excited about the prospects of becoming more active in my community and making a difference in the process. There are tons of programs to choose from the largest being Big Brother, Big Sister and DenverKids. I found that each has its advantages, some are more independent and others are more involved with group support. Generally the programs require at least a year commitment, but they can always use volunteers if you can’t commit the that much time.
“Byrne Urban Scholars identifies students who have potential, but are at risk of getting lost in the current system. With all the challenges these students face, we believe that paying for a good education shouldn’t be an additional burden. After acceptance in our program, each Byrne scholar receives full or partial tuition assistance, mentoring, tutoring, and case management.”
Mentoring At-Risk Denver HighSchoolers. Help make a difference in schools with some of the highest drop out rates. What I liked most about this program was the quality of their training, which I have heard from other participants are stellar, and a more active community involvement.
If your interested, ask for Andrea, and she will fill you in on this great program. (303) 623-9140
