MISSION
The ELSWF Youth Mentoring Program will offers a structured program of support and life skills to youth in grades 3-12. The goals of the project are to provide a safe, supportive and consistent environment for teens to learn positive life skills and to focus life goals.
BACKGROUND
The ELSWF Youth Mentoring Program was started in 2010. It grew out of setting time aside during a Family Reunion. Mentoring session were targeted for 30-40 minutes. With the creation of the ELSWF Foundation this platform is being expanded as a way to offer a structured program of support and life skills to youth in grades 3-12. The goals of the project are to provide a safe,
supportive and consistent environment for teens to learn positive life skills and to focus on life skills.
The program is structured to address common teen issues through one-on-one, small and large group activities. Youth are encouraged to share their ideas and opinions as they also learn and practice positive coping strategies.
