Mentees are residents
of Gloucester, Salem, Camden, or Burlington County, ages 4 thru

How do we match mentees with a
mentor, and
why?
One to One, is our
plan to make strong and lasting "Matches" a reality
for young people in our community.
Groups
and teams are often necessary for the building of our
villages.
However,
the effects of personal, individualized
interaction of a caring mentor with a young person
has a far greater impact on their lives .
Mentors
caring and volunteering of their time with a child who needs
to fill the voids and gaps in their life can help him or her
to:
develop
higher levels of self-esteem
achieve
greater academic ability
improve
behavioral and social relations and
grow
into strong, confident adults
Who
are the mentees that we match with mentors?
Children
between four (4) and fourteen (14) years of age, who have
either one or both of their parents
separated from them due to incarceration.
M.O.D.E.L.
- P.C. connects mentees with
mentors
who chose to make
special time to share with a young person.
Arranging
schedules to fit into the plans of the youth and his or her
family
Planning
outings geared toward the youth’s interest and goals
Sharing
quality time together
Mentees
spend
at least one hour a week with
a mentor who has time to share.
