The Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh in collaboration with the Oshkosh Area School
District, YMCA, UWO CCDET, ADVOCAP, and Junior Achievement offer the Great
Futures Start Here Middle School Mentoring Program. Youth will be matched with a
caring and responsible adult who will serve as their mentor for at least two years.
Mentors and mentees meet for a minimum of 4 times a month (about once a week) for
about an hour per week at the youth's school during study hall or after school at the
Boys & Girls Club of Oshkosh. Mentees will be 30 individuals who are in 6th, 7th, and 8th
grade who could benefit from having a consistent adult mentor. They will continue the
program through middle school and high school. Mentors will be responsible for
attending an orientation, trainings, and meeting with the youth mentee on a regular
basis.
