Background

The UFM Teen Mentoring Program offers a structured program of support and life skills to youth in grades 7-12. The goals of the project are to provide a safe, supportive and consistent environment for teens to learn positive life skills and to focus on primary prevention intervention activities.

The program is site-based and structured to address common teen issues through one-on-one, small and large group activities. Youth are encouraged to share their ideas and opinions as they also learn and practice positive coping strategies.

The Mentoring Program                                                                   

The Mentors and students meet either on Tuesdays or Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m at UFM Community Learning Center, 1221 Thurston. Transportation is provided. Activities are planned each week to provide life skills, learn new skills and have fun.
