Question Title

* 12. As the person referring this child to the mentoring program I understand:

Mentors are volunteers and are asked to mentor once per week (up to 4 hours per month).

If requesting a high school mentor, I understand schedules change at semester and if the time the mentor is available doesn't work with the child's teacher's schedule the child may not be assigned a mentor that school year or not be mentoring the entire school year.

If a problem arises between the mentor and the child, there is a lack of consistent mentoring, or any other issue with the match, contacting the Mentoring Coordinator immediately is very important.

Please understand your cooperation is needed in making our program a success. Our program coordinator is standing by to address your concerns year-round.
