Mentees

Mentor Chippewa connects youth with caring adult mentors who help them build meaningful, one-on-one relationships rooted in trust, encouragement, and support. Through conversations, games, shared activities, and consistent connection, youth gain confidence, strengthen life skills, discover their unique strengths, and feel empowered to be their best self!

What to Expect:

• A caring, one-on-one mentor who meets with your student at school
• Weekly 30-minute mentoring sessions during the school day, from September through May
• A safe, supportive space to talk, play games, learn new skills, and have fun
• Encouragement that helps build confidence, resilience, and positive relationships

Getting started is easy!

Students can be referred to the program by a parent or guardian, by school staff, or through self-referral pending parent permission.

All prospective mentees meet with Mentor Chippewa staff to learn about the program, discuss expectations, and make sure mentoring is the right fit for them.

Parents/Guardians interested in enrolling their child in the program are encouraged to complete a New Mentee Application form. Once your application is received, a member of our program staff will be in touch regarding next steps in the process.

School Staff interested in referring a student to the program can complete a School Staff Referral form to begin the process. Once received, a member of the program staff will review for program fit and reach out with any follow-up questions.

If your child is currently matched with a Mentor Chippewa mentor, watch for an email from our staff mid-August with a link to complete the required annual mentee update form.

If you have more than one child in the program, you’ll receive a separate email and personalized link for each child.

If your child no longer wishes to participate in the program, indicate that on the update form when you submit it.
