BECOMING A ONE-ON-ONE MENTEE
MYTHIRDPLACE One-On-One Mentees are teens who want to be in a one-on-one mentoring relationship with an adult who will help you develop in character, skills, and more through our Life Skills and/or Discipleship track.
In each program you will be matched with an adult mentor who will take you through monthly modules where you will talk about and learn different skills. Every three months we will get together as a group for fun activities, sharing what we learned, and hearing from additional speakers. These meetings are required. If this sounds like something you want to be part of, complete an application for the track you want – you can do both, but the time commitment is doubled then (8-16 hours per month).
BONUS: By completing each module and tract, you will be eligible to earn points that will help you win special prizes such as: tickets to an amusement park, discounts or free passes to MYTHIRDPLACE events, and more!
