Project Title: L.O.V.E. Mentoring Program
Project Description:
The L.O.V.E. school-based model is delivered during the academic year in partner public schools in NYC. L.O.V.E. is implemented as a class for girls only with specific instruction that covers social and emotional content, and addresses health education standards. From September to June, mentors and mentees participate in weekly, hour-long sessions, guided by a curriculum that consists of four core components: mental health, reproductive health, college access, and career readiness. L.O.V.E. Program Associates teach the mentoring sessions. L.O.V.E. mentors are female university students who provide group mentoring to program participants during classes. A teacher from each partner school is also present in the classroom.
Our current goal is to develop new mentoring programs in public schools and serve 1,000 additional students. To achieve this objective, L.O.V.E. is working with the NYC Department of Education, superintendents, and school leaders.
