Hobbs Municipal Schools Mentorship Program

The Hobbs Municipal Schools Mentorship Program is a school based model.  The central feature of the Hobbs Municipal Schools Mentorship Program is that mentors meet with children on school grounds.  This means that mentors meet with their student in different locations on the school campus.  The meeting location could be the counselor’s office, the cafeteria, a meeting room or sometimes the playground. 

The school was chosen as the service site for many reasons:

·   School is a familiar community place for children and parents.

·   Children associate school with learning and making friends.

·   Children, who have an endless appetite for attention, learn to accept that mentors have a specific time and place in their lives.  Busy volunteers don’t have to worry, “Where do I take him next?”

·   Teachers and counselors service numerous students.  The individual time which a mentor spends with a child benefits everyone.
