Male mentors needed for The Golden Fold Mentoship Program

Thanks for your interest in The Golden Fold Mentorship Movement,
 
     We meet every 2nd & 4th Sunday from 4 - 5:30. We will need men over 21 to commit to coming one Sunday per month. All you will need to do is show up and engage the mentee-boys in conversation from 4:00 - 4:20. Remain for the presentations to the boys from 4:20 - 5:10. Finally be involved in the group discussions from 5:10 - 5:30 which will be based upon the presentations. After that commitment you will be free until next month if you decide to only volunteer your time once a month. You are always welcome to come to both sessions per month. Your commitment is only two hours per month. We expect you to arrive at 3:30 PM and will be free to leave at 5:30 PM.
 
     You are also welcome to bring a youth male aged 12 - 18 with you for our sessions. We will also allow you to bring male children older than 9 years if they are your sons. We only extend this age waiver to men bringing their sons as it will aid our impression for the boys participating as mentees to actively see Fathers with their Sons.
 
     We meet in the Collective Arts Theatre inside of Pembroke Mall which is two doors down from the GNC Vitamin store. The easiest way to get to the CAT is by (1) entering near the movie theatre, (2) making a right turn at the intersecting hallway, (3) finally finding the C.A.T. on the far left just before one goes through the exit doors. You will receive a reminder email if you have subscribed or been placed into our e-group. The reminders will come a week prior and a day prior to each meeting.
 
     If you need to be off for a Sunday that you will normally participate then you will give our program adminsitrator, Angelina, an email to thegoldenfold@yahoo.com .
 
     If you are a parent/social worker/etc..  intrested in involving your boy in the program, contact Angelina at the above email address and she will provide you with the necessary info.
 
     The Golden Fold mentorship Movement is a joint venture involving The Imani Foundation of Virginia, The Gamma Xi chapter of Omega Psi Phi (The Ques of Va. Beach), and the ManUP program (open to any Men of the Hampton Roads community).
