The Funhouse Commons Mentor Program continues to provide island kids with traditional one-on-one mentor matches and several types of project-based mentorships that link caring adults with small groups of children.
Mentoring relationships are an essential part of reaching out to kids and keeping a healthy community. Mentors provide their mentees with an experienced friend who is there to help in any number of situations.
The Funhouse is actively seeking responsible, energetic, caring people, teens or adults, for one-on-one, project-based and online learning mentors. They also welcome parents who are looking to have their child connected with a caring adult.
In joining The Funhouse Commons mentoring program as a mentor, you will be asked to fill out an application, provide personal and professional references and have a background check. The Funhouse Commons provides an orientation, training and continued support for mentors and mentees.
Join the Mentor Informational Meeting on Thursday, September 19 at 5:30 p.m. at the Funhouse to find out more about the program and/or sign up for this life changing experience.
Contact the Funhouse at 376-7177 or email krista@thefunhouse.org for more information.
