Our Town Hall Meeting on Underage Drinking - Action
Adult Mentors for Youth with Community Service
Coleen Smith volunteered to be chair for the committee working on designing a program to find adult mentors to partner with at risk youth. She has already laid the foundation for the program and is ready to begin accepting volunteers. This program would partner a willing, qualified adult with a youth who has received community service and is in need of additional support to complete their community service hours. The adults will assist the youth by providing support and coaching to the youth while they are completing their sentence. Many at risk youth lack the family support needed to help them successfully complete their community service hours and this program will assist them in fulfilling their requirements, as well as create a connection with an adult in the community who cares about the youth and will support them in making positive choices in the future.
