Mentoring

The goal of Simpatico's mentoring program is to provide a child with a safe and caring person from his or her community whom he or she can connect with. Mentors teach children new ways to overcome their challenges and to manage their struggles. Children and mentors meet in school, at home, or out in the community. It is an excellent way to build social skills and problem-solving skills.
