  • Kids Win: Pathways to Success Mentoring Program

    The Kids Win:Pathways to Success Mentoring Program (KW:PT) serves high-risk youth ages 10-18. Administrators, school based truancy teams, guidance counselors, teachers, parents, peers and/or community partners such as the Children's Shelter, Department of Juvenile Justice and/or Take Stock in Children refer youth to the Kids Win Mentoring Program. The mission is to engage underperforming students who are truant and/or are failing at least one core subject. The goal is to reduce truancy and improve grades. Mentors help students develop positive personal relationships; develop life skills; offer support and encouragement; improve time management skills; help students feel respected; develop a sense of trust with an adult; help set goals, improve grades and attendance. Our hope is that the mentee will help the student make healthy lifestyle choices and create a life without drugs, alcohol or violence. There are thirty-eight students in this program. Current success rate is 70% in improving grades and/or decreasing truancy.
