Curriculum: 

The Choices Mentoring Initiative (CMI) curriculum is designed to be facilitated by certified Choice Mentoring Initiative staff or facilitators after school.

The curriculum consists of 10 lessons that focus on understanding the human self/mind to assist participants in making choices, honing personal and interpersonal skills to traverse daily situations, and building strong family and community relationships. 

Mentoring for youth ages 10 - 17. 

Mentors play the role of chaperones to the participants to help them connect the dots of learning and allow them to interact positively with an adult in their life, week to week.  Mentors also provide a healthy space to build relationships and connections that support children and adolescents and the skills acquired.  Additionally, due to the bond framed through the implementation of the educational plan, it is beneficial that the facilitators of the Choices Mentoring Initiative remain a constant factor with the participants.
