Mentorship is one of the most satisfying opportunities for volunteering. It is essential to the heart of CJC’s ministry for each participant to have someone to call on for encouragement and support after the official program ends. This relationship helps the student keep the commitments made while in the program and provides the support needed to make real and lasting changes.

Mentorship is a commitment to a a six-month relationship with the student, during which the mentor and mentee must meet a total of 14 one-hour visits and have 14 phone calls. A prospective member must meet the volunteer requirements and be an active member in a local church.
