Moving In The Spirit

The Mentor Program

Are you looking to make a difference in a young person’s life, and change your own life at the same time? You can do just that by becoming a mentor through Moving in the Spirit’s Mentor Program.

The Mentor Program pairs Moving in the Spirit dancers with caring adult role models who provide support, encouragement and exposure to new experiences. As a Moving in the Spirit mentor, you will develop a meaningful relationship with one Moving in the Spirit dancer while encouraging his or her academic success, social development and understanding of the world. Mentors are carefully selected from adult volunteers within the community, and are rigorously screened and trained before they are matched with youth ages 8-18.

As a mentor, you will commit to at least a one-year relationship, and support one Moving in the Spirit dancer through:

• Weekly phone calls
• Two recreational activities per month
• Two community service activities per year
• Four mentor trainings per year

Eligibility Requirements:

• Must have own transportation
• Pass criminal records check
• References
• Interview
• Training
