FAQ

What is a mentor?

A mentor is a positive role model, who provides a young person with support, counsel, and friendship. A mentor is NOT a tutor, a babysitter, or a disciplinarian. Any child can benefit by having an additional positive role model in their life.

How much time do volunteers spend mentoring?

It is up to the individual to decide how much time to spend with the HOSTS program. Most volunteers work 30 minutes to 1 hour one day a week. Mentoring sessions are arranged with volunteers to fit their busy schedules. This also allows volunteers to establish a continuing relationship with the student they are mentoring. Most mentors stay with their kids until they graduate from high school.

How do I become a mentor?

Please contact Bonnie Nava at [email protected]. Ms. Nava will be in contact with you and help you through the process.

What happens if I need to miss a session or if my schedule changes?

We understand that unexpected things happen and plans need to change sometimes. If you are going to miss, you can let the Campus Mentoring Contact know and he or she can inform the student. Some sessions can be rescheduled but it is dependent on several unique campus factors.
