Think back to the person who believed in you before you believed in yourself.
Maybe it was a coach. Maybe it was your grandmother, or the barber who always asked about your grades. Whoever it was, they kept coming back until it stuck.
That’s the power of a mentor. Right now, students in our community need more men ready to be that person.
Network Connect is looking for male mentors to spend time with students in grades K–12 during the school day. These young people have big ideas and plenty to say. They need more adults in their corner who listen and keep coming back.
You don’t need a title or a perfect story. You need patience and an hour.
Here’s what you’ll do together:
♟️ Chess practice and games
🎨 Arts and crafts
đź“š Academic support with a targeted learning approach
🤝 Violence prevention lessons and the Coaching Boys into Men curriculum
You’ll work with students of all ages, in groups and one-on-one.
What it takes:
đź“… Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM
⏰ Up to 1 hour a day
âś… A cleared background check and eligibility to work in a school system
Kids remember the adult who kept their word. Be that man for someone.
