We believe that the best way to build social skills is through practice. As mentors, we are able to develop an engaging activity and provide a safe place for mentees to get out of their comfort zone and practice in a positive social environment.
With the use of technology increasing, it has become more difficult for mentees to connect with their peers on a personal level. We believe doing activities outside or in the community provides the mentee with a real life experience and the familiarity in the environment that they will need to navigate in the future.
While under the care of our trained mentors, these activities provide a safe environment for mentees to practice skills with each other, which will translate more effectively into the real world and prepare them to ultimately take flight as socially confident people.
