Join our Mentoring Programs!
In partnership with The Governor's Prevention Partnership, D.E.S.T.I.N.E.D. to Succeed, Inc. is striving to reach our youth in an authentic way. Youth mentoring is the process of matching mentors with young people who need or want a caring, responsible adult in their lives. The goal of youth mentoring programs is to improve the well-being of the child by providing a role model that can support the child academically, socially and/or personally.
Virtual
E-mentoring allows participants to communicate at their own convenience and beyond time zones since it eliminates the need for them to be in the same physical location.
Mentors and Mentees will be paired based on areas of interest. The Mentee-Mentor pair can then meet and talk at mutually convenient times in person or virtually. Mentoring will take place on-site with mentoring teams working in collaboration with each other to give direction, motivate, coach, and support the Mentees in reaching their goals.
Group
Group
Group mentoring utilizes multiple mentors and mentees in a group setting. Although structured as a group, learning is individual and each mentee works on his or her own unique needs and development goals.
