Take Stock in Children Monroe is seeking mentors to pair with 16 students who cannot be part of the program without them.
A mentor is a vital component to a student’s acceptance into the initiative, providing the guidance and support needed to thrive. Without a mentor, an eligible TSIC student cannot enter the program.
“Our mentors are making a positive impact and a true difference in the lives of their Take Stock mentees with a small commitment of 30 minutes a week,” executive director Chuck Licis-Masson said.
The organization said 100% of its students graduate from high school, with nearly all enrolling in higher education or career technical programs, and 75% earning a degree or career certificate.
It has served 1,084 students.
Take Stock said prospective mentors are caring adults who have the time to help guide and encourage students to do their best, and who have a willingness to listen to and be a stable presence in a young person’s life.
