Mentorship
Mission Statement
Welcome to the Hobbs Municipal Schools Mentoring Page. We are currently in need of new Mentors. If you feel you, or someone you know can make a difference in the life of a child please click here to see the eligibility requirements (Spanish) and view here to complete the application packet (Spanish).
Hobbs Municipal Schools Mentorship Program in partnership with the Community Drug Coalition is a school based model. The central feature of the program is that mentors meet with children on school grounds during the student's lunch time.
The Mentorship Program aims to help youth discover positive solutions in their everyday lives by establishing a caring relationship with a mentor. Just as important is to make adults aware of what they can contribute as mentors to the development of our youth.
Our primary intentions are to help children to:
Feel good about themselves;
Recognize their unique potential;
Set reachable goals for their future; and
Become peaceful and responsible citizens.
Our secondary goals are to:
Provide support to teachers and counselors;
Make schools friendly places for volunteers; and
Involve communities in child raising.
Things We Believe In
The most important aspect of mentoring is the relationship in itself.
A caring relationship with an adult outside the family can make a difference, leaving a positive imprint on a child for the rest of his/her life.
