In addition, the program typically offers a group social/recreational activity for all participants every other month. Mentors are over 18 years old and have completed a series of background checks. In addition, all mentors receive an initial two-hour training before being matched with a youth and are provided with subsequent trainings throughout the year on a variety of topics.
