Mentoring Children of Prisoners (MCP)

August 4, 2011

MCP serves children of prisoners by providing them with a positive one-to-one mentor relationship with a specially screened and trained adult role model. MCP practices Community-based mentoring, with mentors and children meeting independently of the mentoring organization and engaging in a variety of community activities. Each mentor commits to spending at least 8-10 hours a month with his or her mentee for at least one year, building a trusting friendship that can literally transform the life of a child. Through early intervention by a mentor, we aim to help children of prisoners see their potential for a life free of crime and violence. The BBBS one-to-one mentoring model is used to mold the futures of our community’s most vulnerable children. These children have the potential to become productive and contributing members of society.
