National Mentoring Month

January is National Mentoring Month! This month 5 different mentoring organizations in Kokomo (Project 30, New Leaf Mentoring, the Crossing School, Parent 2 Parent (KHS), and Book Buddies @ Head Start) came together to celebrate and promote mentoring. The mayor and the various mentoring organizations in Kokomo celebrated "Mentoring Day" in Kokomo on Tuesday, January 11th. Many people from the community came to learn about the urgent need for mentors and to see how they can get involved. You can watch the presentation at:

It runs about 4-5 times a day on KGOV (KGOV Video Streaming or Channel 2 locally)

In case you are yet unaware, there is a waiting list of over 300 students at the elementary, middle school, & high school level who are in need of a mentor. Bridges Outreach's mentoring program is called Project 30. If you are interested in mentoring please call us at 765.452.5723 and we'd be happy to tell you about the needs for our program and the other mentoring programs in town. Make a difference in the life of a child. Be A Mentor!
