What is Tag Along Mentoring With Families Plus?
Call it job-shadowing, coaching, or being a role model, a Tag-Along mentor is someone who steps up to be a positive influence in a child's life. Do you run a business or have a hobby that you would like to share? We need mentors who live anywhere in Delta County, whether that be Delta, Cedaredge, Eckert, Hotchkiss, or Paonia! Become a Tag-Along mentor with Families Plus!
What you do is simple.
- As a Tag-Along mentor you show a child a different perspective on life while helping them either gain work experience, a new skill, or a shared activity or interest.
- Some interests are construction, technology, hiking, sports, job shadowing, art most anything you can think of!
Our program is easy to work with.
- You tell us what you want to share, and we look for a child in our program that is interested in what you have to offer.
- We work with you and your time to make an arrangement that works best for you and the child/teenager.
- Our therapists work with you to make the first introduction and then you slowly build your relationship from there!
