 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.
