Studies in resilience and trauma all say the same thing: Youth need special people in their lives who love them unconditionally and can walk alongside them through life. Developing a mentoring program is one way to support youth in this way. The theories and frameworks are well known, but what about actually putting dreams into practice? Tabor Mentoring Services in Bucks County and Project Hope in Adams County partner together to provide a general overview on how to develop and sustain a mentoring program. Each program will be sharing their practical knowledge, and on the ground experiences from pitching the idea to screening mentors.
Presenters:
- Tessa Adams, Mentoring Specialist, Project Hope, Adams County Children and Youth Services
- Leasia Ayers-Caswell, Program Supervisor, Adams County Children and Youth Services
- Rosaleen Holohan, Mentoring Specialist, Adolescent Initiative Program (AIP), Tabor Children's Services
- Dawn Miller, Director of Suburban County Programs, Tabor Children's Services
