With 50 years’ experience matching caring adults with youth in need to help them thrive, mentoring offers vulnerable youth opportunities to share experiences with reliable adults to widen their vision of themselves, helping them to become confident, contributing members of their community. School-based mentoring partnerships, are free of charge, to local children between 5 and 18 who could benefit from a long-term, trusting relationship with an adult in their community. WCM trains and certifies adult volunteers to be mentors who are then matched with children at a local school. Once matched, the pair meets weekly at the school, during the school day, for an hour.
