 Who are the Moms?

 Who are the Mentors?

The Moms are women who reach out and take a risk to to find the support they need to improve their lives. There are no age restrictions; their child may be an infant or they may have teenage children. They may have full custody, shared custody, or may be working toward gaining custody of their child/ren. 

Time spent with a Mentor often includes:

  • getting help with parenting issues
  • working on personal goals
  • enjoying fun outings in and around the community
  • simply sitting down and chatting over coffee with an adult 

The Mentors are life-experienced mothers who volunteer a few hours of their time each week for a year to a single mom, sharing in the good times and offering support and an ear in the more challenging times. They are compassionate, interested in learning more about mentoring, accepting of others, and they are good listeners.

Mentors are primarily mothers who:

  • have approximately 2 hours per week to share with a Mom
  • are caring and supportive
  • are able to attend one Mentor support session per month
  • are able to attend the Saturday Training Meeting each month
  • can commit to the program for one year
