"Tonight, these three amazing young men graduated out of our middle school mentoring program. This last year has been especially awesome, in big part because of them and their influence on the other young people who attend. I’m so proud of each of them!" -Mentor @abi_ruth
OKC mentors! Ever heard of #Footgolf? It's like golf, with your foot (and a soccer ball). Join us at Hidden Creek Golf Course in Midwest City at 630pm on August 21st for a round consisting of 9 holes. Get in on the action by emailing advocate@thementoringproject.org. #MentorMoment #TMProjectMentorMoment #Mentor #EveryChildDeservesAMentor #TheMentoringProject
We got caught up in the wild world of @nba free agency this summer, and then Team @louisiana_united (playing in this summer's @the.tournament on @ESPN) reached out to ask about highlighting TMP on their #TBT2018 quest. So we decided to play a little basketball. • Special thanks to @crossings_community_center for sponsoring this event, and a BIG thank you to @jmanessphotography for the incredible photos. • To view the entire album of photos, visit our Facebook page (Facebook.com/tmproject.org) • #TheMentoringProject #MentorMoment #TMProjectMentorMoment #Mentor #EveryChildDeservesAMentor
Over the years we have come to realize there are several individuals and groups that share our heart for the fatherless generation, and they want to make a difference. Which is one of the reasons why we created the #MentorToolkit. • Check out our new #TMProjectMentorToolkit product spotlight over on our blog (thementoringproject.org) to find out how you can launch or expand a mentoring effort in your community. • #Mentor #TheMentoringProject #EveryChildDeservesAMentor
@the.tournament claims to be the most intense competition in the world - a winner take all battle, featuring several pro, semi-pro and post collegiate players, worth 2 million in prize money and bragging rights. Anyone can enter a team, and fans determine who plays and share in the prize. • We are excited to root on Team @louisiana_united as they play for and pursue a dream that's bigger than basketball and the title of champion - rewriting the fatherless story through mentoring. • Join us this Saturday, July 14, for a watch party as they hit the court for their first game of the tournament. • For more details on how to join the party email us via advocate@thementoringproject.org
When it comes to mentoring kids, programs are a common approach. Programmatic excellence, training, sustainability - these are critical. The program is not the end, though, but the means. We believe programs are the "rails" for the relationship. The relationship is the goal. On the flip side, mentoring does not have to take place in a programmatic fashion. Many of us have nieces and nephews, or neighborhood kids, etc. that organically run in our circles of influence. In the immortal words of our friend @joshshipp, "Every child is one caring adult away from being a success story." Imagine if they had two, or more! The more caring adults a kid has in their life, the better. Either way, if we are involved and trusted relationally, we can change the trajectory of a child. Thank you @jamietworkowski for your example - for the way you mentor a multitude of individuals directly and indirectly, including our youth! • #TheMentoringProject #Mentor #EveryChildDeservesAMentor
UPCOMING - JULY 2018 #MENTORMOMENT • #LABron isn't the only one having fun this offseason. The General Manager of Team @Louisiana_United in this summer's @the.tournament on @ESPN recently reached out to ask if he and his team of professional ballers could highlight The Mentoring Project and our cause on this national stage. • Join us @Crossings_Community_Center for a #TBT2018 Watch Party as Team Louisiana United kicks off their quest on Saturday, July 14 at 8am CDT. • Light breakfast will be served, and there will be an opportunity for open gym play. Plan to join us with an RSVP to advocate@thementoringproject.org • Disclaimer - in order to participate you must have a TMProject waiver on file and be a part of The Mentoring Project's programs or network of Mentor Link organizations. Please contact advocate@thementoringproject.org if you have questions about getting involved in TMProject's programming.
Mentor / mentee match! #Letsdothis
