I would also like to remind everyone about the upcoming training. We are utilizing Mentor Washington’s “Becoming a Better Mentor” curriculum. We believe that all adults that go into juvenile detention facilities are mentors to youth: spiritual, religious, secular, and group mentorship. This training is open to anyone who is a mentor of youth.
The training program will be 12 months long with a new topic each month on fourth Thursdays at 6:30 pm.
