Become A Mentor

01

potential mentor application

Points of Light mentorship program brings community members and collegiate students together with local inner city children ranging from 4th to 7th grade to create supportive, Christ-centered relationships outside the home.

Our goal is to create multi-year relationships that will foster trust, guidance, hope and love.

Mentors will complete an application that includes an online application, reference checks, a background check, and an interview with our Mentor Coordinator. In addition, mentors will attend two mandatory training sessions, each approximately 3 hours in length.

Mentors will meet with their mentees twice a month on designated Saturday mornings for approximately 90 minutes per session for the months of September through April. Mentors will document their hours and a brief reflection at the end of each session. Mentors will participate in a peer support and sharing session once a month.
