For Families
iC.A.R.E. Mentors are specially trained volunteers who connect with your child to meet weekly to work on skills such as goal setting, building confidence, resiliency, and more. Mentors do not replace parents, guardians, teachers, or counselors, but add to the ecosystem of adults rooting for your child and helping them to succeed.
