Just One Starfish pairs high school age Christian youth with at-risk upper elementary school students for one-on-one mentoring. Learn how you can empower your students to do relational ministry and make a positive impact on your community.
Parents and Teachers
Just One Starfish mentors apply and are recommended by their church youth ministry leaders as positive, encouraging role models. Both schools and younger "mentees" alike will benefit when mentors invest their time and compassion in one-on-one mentoring. Together, we can make a difference one life at a time.
What is the time commitment required for mentors?
Posted by admin in FAQs
We ask that Just One Starfish mentors commit to 4 hours a month of mentoring time. Mentors meet their mentee “stars” after school for 45-60 minutes once a week. There is not a set day of the week for mentoring, so the weekly meeting can be scheduled around sports and other extracurricular activities.
Mentoring takes place during the school year, not during summer vacation.
There may also be an additional fundraiser or two as needed in order to pay for an end of year celebration for all mentors and mentees.
