Description

GEM is a unique mentoring program that addresses dropout prevention/intervention symptoms which prevent youth and young adults from doing what is right for themselves and others. Services include: One-on-One and group mentoring, outside referral services where needed and weekly activities that benefit young people in their daily lives. Community-Based Mentoring increases the likelihood of regular school attendance and academic achievement and decreases the chances of engaging in self-destructive and negative behavior. A trusting relationship with a caring adult provides stability for a child and often has profound, life-changing effects.
