The Ready to Achieve Mentoring Program (RAMP) at Progressive Center for Independent Living is looking for volunteers age 20 and up to serve as positive role models for Mercer County at-risk high school youth
Each youth will meet regularly with a mentor to develop and implement an Individualized Mentoring Plan (IMP). Our chosen Mentors are caring adults recruited from the community, schools, employers, and partner organizations. Youths’ families, teachers, and support network are engaged in career fairs, college visits, and extended learning activities
Mentors provide high-tech, career-focused mentoring to youth, including those with disabilities, who are at-risk of court-involvement, through a combination of one-on-one, group and peer mentoring, with the goals of reducing court involvement and or recidivism; increasing career preparation; and developing work readiness skills
