I had to look up the address to the site I told you about- www.optimist.org
Otherwise their meetings are usually list in the paper in the social meeting area or sometimes someone at the city may know about a service group.
Jennie Sue,
We have a program in my county that provides mentors (usually mothers or grandmothers) for teenage mothers. I was going to become involved, but became too active in PTO to do that too. It is sponsored by this county's Prevention Partnership office. This is a non-profit organization trying to help kids find non-drug related activities. In our county this is the group that sponsors the high school post-graduation all-night parties. You may have something like this in your county that could help you.
Unfortunately, this is an area that I know very little about. I hope I didn't sound nasty when I asked all those questions. That was not my intention. I really did not understand exactly what you are trying to do and what type of info will help you do it. When I mentioned all the "wonderful folks" here who could contribute info, I was NOT referring to myself.
Haven't heard back for you. Looking for for valuable information. Beleive it or not, our district has already started back to school. We are in need (Okay, I am in need) of information in setting up an mentoring program. Please refer to my previous postings. Looking forward to your reply.
