EMERGE Announces Mentoring Program

EMERGE has officially launched a therapeutic mentoring program for adolescents and young adults.  The EMERGE mentoring program is unique in that it is flexible to accommodate many different levels of need.  Mentees who need some guidance and encouragement can benefit from as little as one hour per week.  However, more intensive support can include multiple hours per day or week. Mentoring sessions can take place at home, in the community or at the EMERGE office.  

EMERGE mentors adopt a therapeutic approach to their work using best practices in relationship-building and an ongoing awareness of youth development.  EMERGE mentors have the flexibility to interact with youth in a variety of settings across many different activities.  However, the overarching goal is the social and emotional growth of the mentee.

The program is built around the five core competencies of social and emotional learning: self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills and social awareness.  There is a $40 per session fee for mentoring services, however, some no and low-cost services are available.
