All first-year mentors are required to attend 3 Council of Families meetings within the first year of the program. Multi-year matches are encouraged to attend. Council meetings are supervised by program staff and offer an intimate, small group environment for mentors to bounce ideas off one another, share the joys and challenges of their match and receive extra, in-person support from staff.
