We view the Navigators Mentoring Program as a partnership between mentors, students, and families. To help ensure a positive experience for everyone involved, we ask families to support the following expectations:

​

Communication

We communicate primarily through email, text, GroupMe, and calendar invitations. Parents and students will receive advance notice with details for all sessions, events, and any schedule updates.

​

Drop-Off & Pick-Up

• For local events, parents and guardians are expected to drop off and pick up students directly at the event location, on time.

• For out-of-area events, families will drop off and pick up students at a designated meeting location, where we will travel together.

• Lunch is provided at every event, and parents are not required to stay on-site unless otherwise noted.

Parents will also be invited to select events throughout the year and are encouraged to attend when possible.

​

Behavior & Engagement

We expect students to arrive ready to participate with a positive attitude, respect for others, and an openness to learning. Because our mentors are volunteers, we ask that students show respect for each adult’s time and effort.

If a student does not want to participate, we kindly ask families not to force participation. We understand that mentoring may not be the right fit for every student at every stage, and that’s okay. Our goal is to serve students who are ready and willing to engage.

Our Commitment to Families

In return, we commit to providing:

• A safe, supportive, and engaging environment

• Clear communication and advance planning

• Mentors who care deeply about student growth and success
