Project Mentor

Are you exhausted, have stacks of homework, and can barely find excitement at school? Then join the Project Mentor Program. The mentor can choose to volunteer at any Manor Independent School District. When school starts again the mentor can either keep or receive a different mentee, and it doesn’t matter what grade the child is in. Project Mentor is for a mentee to be a good listener and to never judge a mentee. This program is to be a role model to a youth once a week for only thirty minutes. This program also counts as community service.
When a mentor is together with a mentee they both do activities like play board games, create art projects, read, go hang out outside, play basketball with others, and become more sociable. Hanging out with different people helps the mentor to expand their patience level.
It’s a good program for everyone to join, to bond and interact with a person that’s younger than you. Being in high school can be stressful, but when you’re with a mentee it helps the mentor to interact with their childlike character, it’s important because high school can be stressful, and when around children its makes a person relaxed and help someone else with their problems. Project Mentor shows everyone that a person isn’t alone in a situation, everyone needs help in some type of area. This program isn’t to talk about deep personal situations it’s to help another person out and build a relationship. Project Mentor is about meeting different personalities and the program gives a chance for the mentor to listen to the mentee. A teacher isn’t always able to talk to an individual one-on-one but a mentor is able to be there for support. A mentee may want to share something that they can’t tell their parent or parents about, but it’s the mentor’s job to keep their personal business confidential. Together the mentor and the mentee develop a friendship that lasts for years.
Also there will be a future Project Mentor Club coming soon!
