Mentoring
Overview of
Valley Community Coalition (VCC)
Mentoring Program
Want to spend quality time with youth and make a difference in the
life of a young person?
You can become part of the Valley Mentoring Program.
Mentors spend 4-6 hours a month in one-on-one contact together doing
fun and exciting activities with their youth partner.
This
program matches up an interested adult with a student in grades 1-7.
After an interview, screening and training process, our Mentoring
Coordinator,
Cassie Friederich will match you with a youth in our
community who would benefit from a mentoring relationship. Family
activities are offered every other month to families and mentors.
Enjoy fun activities and meet new people. Attendance is not
required, but appreciated.
Some of the activities included for whole group/family activity are:
go swimming, bowling, roller skating, go to a movie, horseback
riding, utilize the nature trails in our area. Suggestions
and new ideas are always welcome.
