Mentors:
Those who wish to become mentors will be matched with children who have similar interests and a background check by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). Mentors vary from business professionals to high school and college students to retirees.

Children:
The children join the program voluntarily though recommendations by parents, teachers, guardians, or school programs, and are from ages 6-13 years old. Once in the program they may stay as long as they like.

Amount Involved:
There are approximately 75 children in the program along with 25 mentors. There is always a need for more quality mentors that can work with a child.

Activities:
The mentors and children may engage in many different activities as long as they have permission from the parents. Usually they choose an activity that the child enjoys.

Social Media:
