LUK INC is looking for mentors for 1 hour per week
Email: Wsu_biniendacenter@worcester.edu
LUK Mentoring is interested in partnering with Worcester State University to improve the lives of local Worcester youth.
LUK's waitlist is comprised of children aged 6-17 from Central Massachusetts, with over 50 youth on that list coming from Worcester. This would be a "community-based mentorship", meaning that WSU students would be expected to meet with youth out in the community: at ball fields, museums, parks, etc. During the time spent together, mentors and mentees will get to know each other, creating a relationship built on trust, reliability, and compassion. There isn't an overall target that quantifies "success", this is not an academic mentorship, the relationship itself is the success!
LUK Mentoring is also very open to hosting internships for Worcester State students. We've had a successful psychology student intern, and would be pleased to look into any other areas of study through which our goals can align.
LUK Mentoring can be contacted at mentoring@luk.org or by calling 800-579-0000 and asking for mentoring."
