Mentors
alley's house is a member of the Metroplex Mentor Center. This is a coalition of local agencies with mentoring programs adhering to a level of standards and practices in sync with the Texas Governor's Initiative on Mentoring.
Our program is a one-to-one type mentoring program and is modeled after the Big Brothers Big Sisters Model. We match the teen moms participating in our program with a volunteer mentor from within the community. The mentor meets with the teen mom 6 hours per month for a one year period. The mentor works directly with her to assist her in accomplishing her Goal Plan and Life Skill Activities.
Steps to Becoming a Mentor
- Call 214.954.6400 to request a volunteer packet. Complete and return the necessary forms.
- The Program Director will process your paperwork which includes reference checking, a Criminal Background Check and a review of your application.
- The Program Director will schedule a personal interview with the potential mentor.
- alley's house will notify you to schedule your Mentor Orientation and Training Workshops.
- Once approval into the program is completed you will be notified.
- The matching process begins between the teen mother and the mentor. This process is the responsibility of the Program Director.
- Once the match is made, the Program Director will contact you regarding the specifics of the match. A meeting will be scheduled at this time to meet the teen mom and review the Teen Mom's Mentoring Plan.
