Start T.R.A.C.life Mentoring
Mentoring starts where Adventure Camp ends.
T.R.A.C.life is a year-long mentoring program that starts where Teen Reach Adventure Camp ends.
Mentoring is a time-proven process to help young people of all circumstances achieve their full potential. Mentors are caring individuals who, along with legal guardians, provide young people with support, friendship and a positive example.
For youth eligible for T.R.A.C.life, this relationship begins after Teen Reach Adventure Camp. Mentors volunteer at camp, so the match is not “cold” like many mentoring programs. Mentors undergo a thorough fingerprinted background check and commit to meeting with their mentees twice a month for a year.
