Overview

Mission

One to one mentoring empowers youth in san miquel county and west end of montrose county to achieve their social, emotional, and academic potential through professionally supported mentor relationships.

What it reported doing in 2024

One to one mentoring operates the community mentoring program for youth ages 5-18 in san miguel county and the west end of montrose county, Colorado. The program is rooted in established mentoring practices as defined by elements of effective practices for mentoring (4th ed., sept. 2015) and encompasses recruitment, screening, training, matching, initiating, monitoring, support, and closure. In the program, screened volunteer adults are matched by personality and similar interests with a youth, who was referred to the program by families, schools, and other agencies to focus on a wide range of needs. Matches spend time weekly exploring activities based on the interests and desires of the youth. Program outcomes include improvements/increases in social, emotional, and academic skills; awareness of healthy behaviors; teamwork and decision- making abilities; self-esteem and self-efficacy; and access to community resources and feeling of community engagement. Program activities include matching mentors and mentees and supporting those matches; enrichment activities for matches focused on community service, the outdoors, and art/culture; scholarships for after-school and summer programs; and intensive case management based on the needs of each mentee's family. In 2024, 278 mentees and mentors were served.
