Project Title: Student League of Darien
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Student League of Darien (SLOD) is an all-male league run by upperclassmen to mentor freshman boys in a fun, relaxing, judgment-free environment. By watching sports, playing cards, eating pizza, and getting to know one another, SLOD offers opportunities for youths to forge social and emotional connections with peers. These relationships can help younger boys tremendously with the transition to the often-stressful high school years. For the upperclassman participants, their involvement in the program can also be a meaningful addition to applications for colleges and future jobs. <\/p>\n
This program seeks to partner upper-class students with a group of freshmen to ease the transition to high school. These connections continue at school where SLOD leaders pay close attention to freshman students who are eating alone or having a hard time navigating new routines. These boys are there to be a friend to the 9th graders; they don\u2019t try to fix their problems. They ask questions and help the freshman students come up with their own answers. Frequently they model how to problem-solve by describing how they overcame a similar problem in their life. They also invite the peers they work with to come up with ideas and solutions to supportively help their peers explore the possibilities. <\/p>\n
The Student League of Darien is open to 9th-12th grade boys and meets two Mondays per month, 8-9:30pm at the Depot Youth Center. The Depot provides a comfortable and social environment for this program. The bi-weekly meetings at the Depot give the mentors an opportunity to see how things progress.<\/p>\n
