Mentoring works! Research reveals students who receive adult support are less likely to engage in at-risk behavior and more likely to become the citizens our future world needs.

Our History
AIM pairs adult mentors with kids in K-6th grade. Mentors and mentees can choose from our two program options. In our school mentoring program, mentors and mentees meet weekly for 30 minutes at school. These matches play games, play catch on the playground, or do crafts. Our community mentoring program allows matches to meet out in the community for 2-4 hours per month. Community matches can attend community events, go bowling, bake cookies, etc.
