Be a Mentor. . .Change a Life
Companions for Children is a local, non-profit, volunteer organization that strives to provide all enrolled children with a screened Adult Companion volunteer. Companions for Children has been at work in the Minot area since 1972. During this time Companions for Children has provided hundreds of children with mentors whom have helped them through challenging and crucial times in their lives. Many of these mentorships become lifelong friendships!
Companions for Children has a goal of matching every child in Minot from a single-parent home with a caring adult mentor. Why does CfC have this goal? The answer is simple. Mentors change kids lives for the better. But don't take our word for it!
Studies have shown that youth who meet regularly with a mentor are:
more confident of their performance in school
more likely to attend college
more likely to get along better with families
less likely to consider suicide
less likely to suffer from depression
less likely to begin using illegal drugs
less likely to begin using alcohol
less likely to skip school
less likely to react by hitting
