What Are Other Benefits of Being Enrolled In Mentor Duluth?

Children and youth enrolled in Mentor Duluth often have to wait for us to find an appropriate mentor for them. Sometimes the wait can be a year or more. While your child is waiting, however, there are several benefits and ways to stay involved in the program.

Mentor Duluth Activities and Opportunities 

Mentor Duluth frequently hosts free activities. Mentor Duluth may provide transportation for youth to and from the activity. Once your child is matched, (s)he can also participate in match activities with his/her mentor. These activities range from bowling to sailing, plays to sporting event tickets, arts and crafts projects and much more.

Monthly Newsletter (community-based only)

Each month we send out a newsletter updating your family on Mentor Duluth news, announcements and activities. Please be sure to check out the newsletter each month so your child doesn’t miss out on anything!

YMCA Membership (community-based only)

All children and youth enrolled in the Mentor Duluth community-based program also receive a free YMCA membership. Children under the age of 10 years old must be accompanied by an adult at all times at the YMCA, so parent(s) of children enrolled in Mentor Duluth that are less than 10 years old also receive a card which they can use to attend with their child. 

Program Staff Support

Program staff will assist you with any questions or concerns and to help make your experience with Mentor Duluth a positive one. Our goal is to provide a safe mentor for your child (mentors are screened and background checks are done on state criminal records and national sexual offender records). Additionally, we will do our best to provide support to both your family and your child’s mentor throughout their match. Please keep your Program staff up to date on any changes in your contact information (phone number, address, etc.) so we can best serve you. Feel free to contact your Program staff at any time if you feel we can be of assistance to you!
