We're passionate about mentoring.....The 100 Way

We believe that What They See Is What They’ll Be. That’s why mentorship is at the core of what we do.

 

Our strategy, called Mentoring the 100 Way, is a holistic approach that addresses the social, emotional and cultural needs of children ages 8-18. It’s really what we’re all about. Members become mentors, advocates, and role models for the youth within our community. Through chapter operated one-on-one and group mentoring efforts, our members forge relationships that positively impact our greatest resource, our youth. Our efforts focus on building essential skills needed to become productive, contributing citizens in the central Illinois area.

M4L: Mentoring 4 Life Program

Our M4L program is our mentorship program for kids ages 8-18. We offer both one-on-one and group opportunities. 

All strategies are focused on being S.M.A.R.T.:

  • Specific: We clearly define our mentoring populations
  • Measurable: We are always measuring and evaluating our successfulness
  • Attainable: We set goals that are attainable, for both the children and the mentors
  • Realistic: We set goals that are realistic and that make sense to the mentee
  • Target Driven: We have a clearly defined target for our work
