Seedling's Promise Mentoring Program

A school-based mentoring program for children whose parents are in prison. This best practice model provides substantial training and support for each volunteer mentor, who visits his/her assigned child weekly at school. The goal of this mentoring program is to interrupt the intergenerational cycle of incarceration by building each child's capacity to be resilient and to achieve in school. To be eligible to become a Seedling mentor, you must be at least 21 years old.
