All children can benefit from positive role models, however many children do not have any positive role models in their lives and need someone like you. HOW MUCH TIME IS REQUIRED? Mentors and mentees meet one to three hours a week for nine months (school year) to one year. This provides time to develop a consistent, positive, and a healthy relationship.
