First Half of FY 20:
Data: 2/15 or 13%
Two “Opportunity Youth” mentee’s from last fiscal year continue to work on their career(s) and college goals. Both are in school part time and their mentors continue to guide and encouraging them to focus and do well in their school work.
The remaining 13 mentors are new to the program as of early November 2019. Mentors initially work with the “Opportunity Youth” to research and determine goals. Once these are established, the youth and mentor will list and prioritize the goals. Mentors then help the youth to address particular issues that are making it difficult for the youth to move forward. This could be any number of things, housing, drug abuse, transportation, assistance with motivation and/or health reasons. Various county resources are utilized to step by step help the youth meet their career/academic/ or college goals.
The QAC CommUnity Mentoring Program is in it’s initial phase of developing relationships, locating and providing the resources to the youth.
