Make
a meaningful change in the life of your child.
ENROLLING
YOUR CHILD
Give
a child the gift of a life-changing friendship that can change your
child’s future. If you are a parent or guardian and are interested
in enrolling your child in our one-to-one mentoring program and to
get more information, please click
here.
If
an appropriate adult volunteer is available and your child is accepted
into the program, the process from acceptance to match will take a
few weeks. Volunteers are carefully and thoroughly screened. Matches
are made to bring together the needs of the child and the skills,
abilities and interests of the adult. Boys are matched to men and
girls are matched to women.
Children
must be between 1st and 11th grade. Both the
child and volunteer are asked to commit to see each other once a week
through the school year.
Each match is assigned a social worker who works closely with the
mentor and parent/guardian, throughout the child's participation in
the program, to provide guidance and support.
Once
enrolled in the program, TOVA has a variety of support programs for
our families.
