Ms. Ashley Yakesh, Program Coordinator for the Chippewa Area Mentor Program, has asked if I would pass along to this blog's readers the need for male mentors. I have been taking part in the program since last school year and have enjoyed it immensely. TELL A FRIEND?
Ms. Yakesh writes:
"Women are wonderful mentors, but some conversations can only happen with another guy.
"Think of the types of important talks you have had with other men. Now, imagine a young boy not having that opportunity. You can provide that for him. The Chippewa Area Mentor Program is looking for male volunteers to be a “guy friend” to one of the 16 boys currently on our waiting list.
"We have a boy named Kyle in our program. Kyle is looking for a mentor to spend time playing and talking with him for only 30 minutes, once a week. He loves remote control race-cars, video games, and trains. He would grow so much from spending time with someone who would just take time to listen and have fun with him.
Contact the Chippewa Area Mentor Program for more information. 715-726-2400 ext. 2516 or camp@chipfalls.k12.wi.us
