Family-to-Family (F2F) Mentorship Program
What's the F2F mentorship Program?
FCC Mentors
Families or individuals with passion to make a positive difference in the lives of socio-economically connecting and/or struggling families.
FCC Mentees
FCC seeks to improve lives of Minority, Immigrant, and Low-income groups who want technical assistance to improve their economic status. These families/individuals benefit from having a mentor who is well-established or intergrated in the community.
Major/Key Expectations from this F2F Mentorship Program
- Know members (parents and children) of your mentee family.
- Identify social and economic needs for your mentee family.
- Provide assistance in accessing the resources.
- Provide family-based assistance aimed at ensuring that the mentee family learns how to progressively do things on their own.
- FCC emphasizes on “lifting-up the families towards self-socioeconomic sufficiency.” The relationship that you establish could be an igniting factor for your mentee family to achieve self-sufficiency.
- Learn about resources that could be helpful in meeting the identified needs. FCC facilitates this. You can also call 211 (a free service offered at the United Way).
- FCC would like to see children and the youth of the mentee families being assisted to improve their academic performance and make realistic plans for economically-sound careers.
- FCC encourages interactions between members of the two families. When possible, do activities and/or play games together, let children do home work together… Be creative and build long-lasting relationships.
