Boys,
Girls, and
Teen Mentoring
Groups
Mentoring
groups
are
held
weekly
and
provide
participants
a
forum
to
express
their
feelings,
thoughts,
and
diverse
viewpoints
on
issues
affecting
their
lives
at
home
or
in
school.
The
goal
of
the
groups
is
to
strengthen
decision-making
skills,
increase
responsibility
taking,
and
enhance
overall
self-knowledge.

and participate
in enriching
activities,
contribute
to their community,
make new friends,
and learn
more about
themselves
while at the
same time
having a great
time.

and Crafts
provide opportunities
for youth

education.
Led by volunteers
from different
metropolitan

brings together
volunteers
and children
of varying

socio-economic
backgrounds
and has proven
to foster
a greater
sense of cross-cultural
understanding.
