Application
Becoming a mentor to a child in the Sonoma Valley Unified School District can change many lives, including your own. The process is thorough and straight-forward, beginning with the completion and submission of an application, followed by a criminal background and character reference check. Our professional staff conducts initial interviews, evaluates application data and completes in-depth reference checks.
Matching Friends
Following application approval, children are matched with mentors based on academic and social needs, as well as mutual interests. You won't believe what you have in common! Mentors and mentees are interviewed early on (as well as quarterly) to evaluate matches and progress.
