Peer Group seeks high school students to mentor youths
We have opening in Teens Taking Action, a program designed to provide teens ages 13-18 with opportunities to create positive change through leadership opportunities in their school and communities. Program participants receive skill-building and leadership development training during monthly meetings. They are paired with adult mentors to work in community service learning projects selected from the categories of poverty, substance abuse, child abuse, teen pregnancy and HIV?AIDS just to name a few.
High school girls are needed to serve as Girl Talk Leaders for the Girl Talk program. Girl Talk is a peer-to-peer mentoring program for middle school girls, led by high school girls, and is currently presented in Prescott at Granite Mountain Middle school and Mile High Middle school. Girl Talk helps middle school girls build self-esteem, learn the importance of community service and benefit from valuable relationships with high school Girl Talk mentors.
North Star is hoping to add Girl Talk to other middles schools in the area. Adult women interested in volunteering as a Girl Talk Advisor are also needed.
