TriVillage Mentor League is proud to offer Mentoring & More to Stevnson Elementary in Grandview Heights, and Greensview Elementary in Upper Arlington.
TVML’s Mentoring & More program provides mentoring to local youth in grades K-3. There is no charge for our Mentoring program and because it is for children enrolled in childcare, we have eliminated barriers of transportation etc. These children are provided with a mentor experience by local high school youth once a week, after school. Local high school students from both Grandview and Upper Arlington are utilized as mentors to the elementary students. It is through this program that strong, life-changing bonds are formed.
The unique thing about our program is that not only is the mentee’s life changed, but so is that of our teenaged mentors. With weekly activities both large and small group, the mentors and mentees experience time together to talk and share their lives. TVML provides an onsite Mentoring Coordinator who runs the weekly program. Mentoring & More runs from October through May.
We are excited to have Ian Gabriel returning for his second year as the Mentoring & More Program Coordinator. Ian is a senior at The Ohio State University and is studying pre-med.
We believe that children who find a connection with someone will take the benefits of that relationship with them into adulthood.
