Club to start mentoring program

By Cynthia Grau/WJEZ News

The Boys and Girls Club of Livingston County is looking for volunteers for an upcoming mentoring program happening at its facility.

Jody Martin, interim CEO of both the Livingston County and Prairie Central clubs, said this will be a commitment to training one hour a week for 13 weeks, starting toward the beginning of November.

“It was actually started by the After School Alliance. They organized the Lights on After School and that’s to draw attention to the many ways after school programs support students by offering students to learn new things. We’re going to kick off STEM activities. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering and mathematics, whereas STEAM is adding the arts in it,” Martin said.
