Together, youth and adults participate in interactive workshops and team-building exercises, fostering positive connections and growth.

By incorporating different mentoring modalities, we ensure that youth receive a wide range of positive influences from multiple individuals, enhancing their personal growth.

​

6. Dual Focus: We offer two-fold services. Firstly, we train community members to become role models, spreading the mentoring spirit throughout the community. Secondly, we provide mentoring sessions where youth can engage in constructive and meaningful programs tailored to their development.

​

7. Commitment to Effective Practice: SHIELD follows the Elements of Effective Practice (EEP) developed by MENTOR. These research and evidence-based standards and guidelines ensure the safe and effective operation of our mentoring programs.
