About MetroMentors
MetroMentors is a youth mentoring program provided in partnership with schools and community organizations in DuPage County. Screened and trained adult MetroMentors are paired with their Match, children aged 7-18. The MetroMentors and their Matches regularly meet at selected schools and neighborhood locations that are supervised by program staff and experienced mentors. Group activities are held to facilitate social skills development.
Why Am I a MetroMentor?
"The most fulfilling part of being a mentor is knowing that have I made a difference in the life of a child. I truly believe that every child needs a positive role model, someone to admire and to look up to, as well as someone to share their dreams and goals." – Diane, MetroMentor
"Our children are our greatest resource and our future. To help even one child see how bright their future could be is why I became a MetroMentor." – Elaine, MetroMentor
Mentoring makes an amazing difference in the life of a child. To learn more about this great program, or to apply as a mentor, please contact Julie Midgley at 630-784-4800, or via e-mail at midgleyj@metrofamily.org.
