Introducing GOAL Getters, a new mentoring program that helps youth improve their academic achievement, school attendance and life goals through positive mentoring relationships. This YMCA program provides positive role models by pairing girls and boys with mentors. Currently, GOAL Getters serves 4th-6th graders attending Franklin, Jefferson, Edison, Palm Lane, Revere and Mann Elementary Schools. The program has three parts:
GOAL Getters Club
Students meet with each other once a week during the afterschool hours and
participate in fun activities that promote social development and goal-setting.
Academic Mentoring
Each week, students will meet one-on-one with their mentors to receive help with homework, encouragement and support toward building self-esteem, career aspirations and healthier lifestyle choices.
Saturday Events
This is an opportunity for mentors, students and parents to interact together
during field trips, presentations and other special activities.
Becoming a mentor is easy! It only takes one hour a week to become a GOAL Getters mentor. If you are a college student, college graduate or college-bound high school student, we’d like to hear from you. Please call the Anaheim Family YMCA at (714) 635-9622 to learn how you can help a student get on the right track! |
