CHILDREN OF PROMISE MENTORING PROGRAM

Children of Promise Mentoring Program focuses on children of incarcerated parents or guardians in a local, state or federal correctional facility between the ages of 4 and 18, who reside in Clayton, Fayette, Henry or South Fulton counties.

Children of Promise will achieve its goal of positive youth development with the provision of one-on-one community based mentor relationships with qualified, trained mentors devoted to spending 1 hour a week with the child participating in an array of structured services and activities.

What is a Mentor?

A Trusted Guide or Friend

  • Young people today do not get much opportunity to be friends with adults; especially adults who will listen to them and take them seriously.

A Caring, Responsible Adult

  • For many of our mentees, there is not always a consistent adult presence in their lives who can model appropriate behaviors, interactions and attitudes.

A Resource

  • Who provides access or exposure to people, places and things outside their mentee's routine environment.

A Positive Role Model

  • Today’s youth have many role models; however, they are not necessarily positive role models.
