Mentor Mii
Becoming a mentor is an excellent way to give back.
Adolescents who have an adult mentor are less likely to engage in high risk behaviors than those without an adult mentor and more like to grow up to be good citizens and employees who strengthen our businesses, our community and our society.
The Mentor Mii Program (Mentors get involved and inspire) is a Pilot Program that provides our students with a caring positive relationship that will motivate them to increase self esteem and academic achievement.
Capable adults, including New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School Corp. personnel, business community, local government leaders, senior citizens, church leaders and members, college students, etc. will provide one hour a week for the 2009-2010 school year. Participating schools in the first year will be Children’s Academy of New Albany, S. Ellen Jones, Slate Run, Hazelwood Middle School, Scribner Middle School, and New Albany High School.
Mentor Mii seeks to create a culture that focuses endlessly on mentoring, all the while providing guidance, leadership and a greater sense of stability in the lives of young people to ensure high levels of competency and success in a global society.
