| SMMWC, Inc. – Mentor Me Program, is funded by the U.S. Department of Education/Office for Safe and Drug Free Schools which makes awards to local educational agencies, nonprofit community-based organizations, and partnerships between the two, to promote school-based mentoring programs for children with the greatest need. Our program seeks to assist children in grades 4 – 8 that reside in rural or high crime areas or troubled environments, or who attend schools with violence problems in receiving support and guidance from a mentor. Self-Made Men, Women, and Children, Inc. was the only organization funded in Maricopa County this year. The SMMWC, Inc. – Mentor Me Program is designed to achieve the following goals – 1. Assist children in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; 2. improve the academic performance of the children; 3. improve interpersonal relationships between the children and their peers, teachers, other adults, and family members; 4. reduce the dropout rate of the children; and 5. reduce the children’s juvenile delinquency and involvement in gangs. |
