91why it's important:
Matches go on outings (i.e. park, zoo, roller skating, library, book store, etc...) twice a month for at least one year.
the plan of action:
Mentors need to attend a training session (typically the 2nd Saturday of each month at our office: 3947 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL 60653) and submit an application. We will then schedule you for an interview and send you to get fingerprinted (criminal background check). If everything looks good, we will match you with a mentee. The process can be swift if you follow all the steps pretty quickly :)
