(KAIR)--The Boys and Girls Club of Atchison is looking for adults to participate in the “Mentorship Program” at the club.
Club Director Joel Hardy told MSC News the program is about a year old and was started to replace the “Big Brothers, Big Sisters.”
“A lot of kids are going through a lot of stuff and the club does their best to help that, but we can only do so much,” Hardy said.
It’s good to have that one on one with a caring adult that can help them with their homework and take them places, Hardy said.
To volunteer for the program, Hardy said adults should fill out an application located at The Boys and Girls Club, The Atchison Housing Authority Office or online at the club’s website.
“The mentors we have now are phenomenal and these kids have really related to their mentors,” Hardy said. “We’ve heard some success stories already.”
Mentors can be anyone over the age of 18. For more information about the program or to volunteer, contact the Boys and Girls Club of Atchison.
