Mentoring Organizations

New Mc (North Eastern Wisconsin Mentoring Coalition)
Mission:  New Mc serves as a coalition to connect the mentoring organizations in the Fox Valley through the coordination of resources so more children can be matched with a mentor.   To find out more about mentoring, visit www.mentoring.org or call the Volunteer Center at 1-800-Volunteer. 

There are hundreds of children on waiting lists who have not yet been matched. Would you please prayerfully consider if the Lord would grant you the privilege of making a difference in the life of one of these children?

Outagamie County Mentoring Program
Mission: This program serves youth who are either involved in the Child Welfare System or Juvenile Justice System through Outagamie County. We serve youth ages 6-17 years of age. They are matched with a volunteer Mentor, spending a few hours a week with the youth, as a role model. Being a mentor means to just be yourself and share what you’ve learned from your own life experiences, in hopes to enhance the youth’s life in a positive way.
