START CHANGING LIVES

Children who receive tutoring and mentoring are less likely to drop out of school, join gangs, get arrested and get pregnant while still a teenager. What’s more, in order to make an impact on a child’s life, all a tutor/mentor needs to do is give is an hour a week of their time.

​What’s important though is that this tutor/mentor relationship be sustained for a period of time. In many of these children’s lives, many people have let them down and in order to make a difference, a commitment of at least one year is needed. While tutors and mentors mainly are millennials, entrepreneurs, and college students can also be a part of this. 

  
September means the start of a new school year. As thousands of children go back to school in the Cincinnati area, we need to remind ourselves of different ways we can make a positive impact on a child’s life.​One of the ways you can make a difference in a child’s life is through tutoring and mentoring.

Studies have shown that tutoring and mentoring underprivileged youth not only improves their academic performance and chances of going to college and getting a good job, but also contributes to their overall well-being, and the well-being of the community. 

 Mentors and Tutors 

FGLA provides opportunities for youth who may go unmatched with other mentor organizations. We recruit mentors with a focus on their connection and adaptability with underserved youth. It is our belief that hiring these near to peer mentors increase relatable interactions and long lasting relationships.

Mentors primary roles are to foster, nurture, and maintain close, positive relationships with the youth that we guide. Additionally, mentors will explain the value of why they do what they do, in part because of their personal experiences and insight with 
dealing with trauma, abuse, and violence. Mentors play a role into building deeper and closer relationships with the youth they help to develop by guiding them in the right direction on a path to prosperity.
