Why high school sophomores and juniors?

Posted by admin in FAQs

We believe high school students are ready to be leaders and to use their ministry gifts in our community.  Positive high school students make for natural role models for upper elementary school aged students.  Just One Starfish mentors are making connections with younger students at a critical developmental age, preadolescence.  While we only ask for a one school year commitment, we hope that mentors will want to continue mentoring their “stars” for a second school year – by recruiting 10th & 11th grade mentors, the relationship can continue for at least two school years…right through preadolescence. (Do we make exceptions for exceptional high school seniors?  Perhaps – email erin at justonestarfish.org for information.)
