Mentor Training
Bridge Communities Initial Mentor Training
As a continuing component of our service to our Program Partners, Bridge Communities schedules mentor training two times per year - once in the spring and again in the fall. Mentor training is required before assignment to work with a client family. In addition, a background check is conducted on each mentor before he or she can begin mentoring a Bridge family. Classes are held from 8:15 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on select Saturdays. Please note, this class has now been newly formatted to a one-day session, replacing the previous two-day class.
