Mentoring

 GEM hosts and facilitates weekly community mentoring session to young adults within the community. These weekly group sessions focus on: local & national topics, poll topics through mentors and mentees, mental health, and education. The goal is to start relevant conversations that youth will take back into their school, home, and community to continue the conversation and spark change.

GEM’s Community Mentoring program is the staple of all its programs offered. Every Wednesday night from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm mentors are present to give a panel of perspectives on the night’s topic, which can range from respect for self and others to the country’s political state. There is no one person who can reach all, so the team approach to these group sessions afford mentees the opportunity to find and create mentor/ protégé relationships where they feel most comfortable with whomever they create a bond.
