PROJECT TEAM
Provides mentor opportunities for adults interested in helping other adults move toward self-sufficiency. Those with skills in parenting, budgeting, employment, education, and more are invited to partner with another adult in building skills. Training is required before being matched with a family.
Joy LeClair, a mentor commented: “One of the most rewarding things has been to see (the family members) reach their goals of going back to school and paying their debt down…It’s always exciting to listen to (the mother) when she catches me up on all that she has accomplished and plans to do.” “The excitement with my family mentee when she realizes a success is rewarding,” said Julie Basler, another Project TEAM mentor.
