The Saratoga Mentoring Program, a program of Catholic Charities Home, is dedicated to matching caring adult volunteers with children facing challenging life circumstances in Saratoga Springs, NY. Mentors and children spend quality time together, fostering friendships and enjoying various activities, while mentors provide guidance, support, and a positive role model for the children. Research has shown that children with mentors perform better academically, have improved social relationships, and are less likely to engage in negative behaviors such as substance abuse. Mentors come from diverse backgrounds and ages, ranging from 18 to 70, and the program aims to create meaningful connections that help children develop a sense of the future and expand their horizons.
