Transitional Housing Mentor Training
The St. Thomas Transitional Housing Ministry would like to expand its ministry to include more families. To do that, we need more trained mentors to join the ministry. The mentor role is both challenging and yet extremely rewarding. Mentoring consists of weekly meetings with the family. A relationship is established, and goals, budgeting and other concerns are discussed.
Bridge Communities provides training for new mentors. The next training session will take place Friday and Saturday, June 5–6, at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church (41 N. Park Blvd., Glen Ellyn). Friday’s session runs from 5:30–8:30 pm and Saturday’s session takes place from 8:15 am–4:00 pm. Mentor training will cover practical aspects of mentoring, challenges faced by client families and how to collaborate with Bridge Communities to achieve great outcomes.
