NFV Mentoring Program | North Fayette Valley Community Coalition

Provides mentoring services to youth. Program matches students in the North Fayette Valley Community School District with an adult mentor. The focus is to provide youth with positive adult role models and reduce drug and alcohol use among youth through the development of a relationship with a caring adult. Adult mentors are asked to spend four to six hours per month with their youth mentee pursuing activities that they choose together. In addition, the program typically offers a group social/recreational activity for all participants every other month.

Mentors are over 18 years old and have completed a series of background checks. In addition, all mentors receive an initial two-hour training before being matched with a youth and are provided with subsequent trainings throughout the year on a variety of topics.
