The CIP CHASE Your Dreams - Achieve Nothing Less Mentor Program is a mentoring program that consists of University of the Pacific students, including CIP students, who have applied and gained training to develop and implement curriculum specifically for underrepresented 6th, 7th, and 8th grade youth-promoting academic and personal excellence.  CIP CHASE understands the importance that support and empowerment can have on the educational attainment of Stockton students.

CHASE mentors work alongside other mentors.  Mentors work in groups of 2-5 mentors and facilitate curriculum sessions to groups of approximately 15-20 students.

Mentoring takes approximately 2 hours a week; 1 hour is dedicated to the overview session in which mentors will learn about the topic and 1 hour for the mentor session they are responsible for facilitating (using the curriculum).
All mentors are committing to making it to the session they are assigned week to week.
Mentors are asked to commit to a minimum of 1 school year (fall to spring).
Ideally, mentors would be available for 2 to 3 years to develop strong relationships with the students they are working with.

Dates/Times:
-Currently sessions are being facilitated in an after-school program style thus times range from 1:00pm-3:30pm and occur once a week during the weekday depending on the school location (for example Madison Elementary on Thursdays at 2:30pm - 3:30pm).

Locations:
-The CHASE Mentor program collaborates with four schools from the Stockton community including Kohl Elementary, Madison Elementary, Wilson Elementary, and St. George Parish School.

*Notice*
In the time of Covid all mentor sessions are conducted via Zoom.
If and when campuses allow students to return to campus, mentors will be responsible for getting to the school campus and facilitating the session face to face.

Mentors will be asked to sign off on a Mentor Contract.  Please see information below related to the contract:

CIP CHASE Mentors agree to:

Depending on interest and experience, duties will include:
1.  Equipment set-up for individual athletes
2.  Equipment maintenance
3.  Boat driving or accompanying coach in boat
4.  Videography of athletes for skill analysis
5.  Conducting strength-training workouts on land
6.  Helping to address needs as they arise at the boathouse

We are very flexible with scheduling.  Volunteers interested in assisting with our Adaptive Program should be available either Tuesday or Thursday morning.  Other volunteer opportunities are offered week days and weekends.  Times vary.  

We welcome students for any time commitment they have available - from those who want to volunteer for a whole school year to those who only have one day available to help us with a special event.

We are need of people with big hearts for kids, especially kids in foster care!

When kids, through no fault of their own, get placed into the juvenile dependency system, the world can become a scary and lonely place. Children in the juvenile dependency system often get moved from home to home, for the child that means; new rules to follow, new school, new teachers, new friends… As CASA volunteer you may very likely be the only ‘constant’ in a foster youth’s life, it’s a big commitment, but impact you will have on a child’s life will be worth it all.  I promise.<!--?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /-->

Volunteers who wish to join this program will need to go through 30 hours of trainning over a 5 week period. The trainning is free and the times of the trainning do vary. Once a volunteer has gone through the tranning they will be asked to commit 3-5 hours a week to the program. This commitment a week can be done on various days and at various times of day. The overall commitment of a volunteer who has gone through the trainning is a 18 month commitment to the program.

I can’t wait to meet you. I hope you decide to join us.
