ADULT MENTOR
Adult Companions are mentors whom are in place to model positive behaviors and be involved and interested in the youth’s life.
Prospective Adult Companions must:
- be at least 18 years old
- commit at least one year to the program
- have an interest in spending time with a child 3-4 times per month
- complete the Companions for Children screening process, which includes background checks, an interview, and the completion of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and the OMNI personality inventory, both of which are interpreted by a licensed psychologist
-participate in a pre-match training session
If you are interested in becoming an Adult Companion, please complete an application form and contact our office to schedule an orientation.
The value of the one-to-one mentor for the youth lies in the personal relationship between the Adult Companion and the Youth Companion. Therefore, it is very important that you choose someone with whom you can feel comfortable and maintain a relationship.
