Mentoring USA is recruiting MALE mentors to serve as positive role models young men in New York City.'s Upper East Side
Mentoring USA is recruiting mentors for our Stanley Isaacs Community Center Mentoring. Mentees are ages 8-14.
Stanley Isaacs is on 1700 3rd Avenue in New York and runs every other Thursday from 6:30-8:00p.
Through the Mentoring USA site based one-to-one model, mentors and mentees meet in a supervised environment at a set time and location-a format which not only allows for the volunteer mentors to properly manage their busy schedules, but also provides the much needed consistency to the mentoring relationship. One-to-one simply refers to each mentor being matched with one mentee so that they can focus their full attention on one youth and build a trusting relationship. Though mentors at our sites are matched with one youth, they are always in the presence of other mentors and mentees. This provides an added support mechanism along with the option of rewarding group activities and presentations. All mentors are asked to commit to mentoring for 4-6 hours per month. Mentoring USA programs are incubated in partnering schools, community centers, foster care agencies, and other non-profits. All sites are supported by MUSA Program Managers who work directly with Site Supervisors at each site to ensure that the programs run smoothly. These supervisors work together to build an environment that is comfortable for the mentoring matches along with providing activities, on-going support, and training to everyone in the program. The Program Manager and Site Supervisor ultimately act as safety nets and support systems to mentors to ensure the growth between mentor and mentee.
