Culture Connect Mentor

The Go-Betweener® Mentoring Program

Immigrants and refugees, especially children and adolescents, have the experience of "going between" their culture at home and American culture at school and in the community. This can prove to be especially confusing and challenging as these youth are often able to learn English and adapt to American culture faster than their parents. Sometimes, there may be little support and guidance present as their parents are working long hours at multiple jobs to survive. These children and adolescents are at particularly high risk for falling behind in school, dropping out, and becoming involved with drug abuse and gangs.

We match these youth very specifically with adult mentors who share 3 important characteristics with them:

1. They are also immigrants or refugees.
2. They are from the same (or similar) cultural background.
3. They speak the same home language.

This way, they are able to relate to and support their mentee in a way that no one else could. They understand the unique challenges that their mentees face, and they are able to communicate effectively with their families - connecting them with resources in the community and helping them to learn to be successful in the United States while maintaining their roots with their home culture.

What are the requirements? You must:

• Be between 18-50 years old
• Be 1st/1.5/2nd generation immigrant or refugee
• Have reliable transportation
• Speak English fluently
• Speak the target language fluently
• Commit to spend time with your mentee at least twice per month for a minimum of 1 year

Want more information about being a mentor? Download our informative PDF. If you cannot read the PDF, download Adobe Reader for free.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please download and fill out this application and email it to volunteer.coordinator@cultureconnectinc.org, fax it to 404-292-8458, or send it by mail to P.O. Box 250, Clarkston, GA 30021. If you have questions about this program please contact us.

YES! Atlanta

YES! Atlanta transforms the lives of "at-risk" youth ages 14-17 through educational and personal development coaching. 

We believe in second chances for our children. Since 1988 we have striven to eradicate the high dropout rate in our public schools that is strongly correlated to eventual incarceration.  Yes! Atlanta has helped 1,000 students overcome the obstacles that stood in the way of their high school graduation.  We are very proud that 70%+ of our students leave the juvenile system.

Yes! works with teachers, parents, the judicial system to help “at-risk” students graduate.  Through our programs, our youth learn the value of educational advancement, and the life skills to break their cycle of negativity.  Following the intensive, our youth re-engage in school attendance, improve academic performance, have better relationships, and a better worldview.

While youth enter our program through our partners, they may continue to participate voluntarily until graduation or placement in college or vocational school.

Scope of Activities
Youth Intensive
We provide a “Youth Intensive” course that provides hope and a new path for “at risk” youth.  Our five-day intensive addresses the key issues impacting our students, including hopelessness, distrust of others, and low self-esteem.  From group activities to guest speakers, the youth are challenged to think and behave in new ways that are beneficial to themselves and their long-term success.

Coaching For Success
We accept 50-60 youth capable of escaping the cycle of underperformance for a weekly tutoring session titled “Coaching for Success.”  Most of our youth come to the program through the judicial system for non-violent events such as school truancy.  We provide a safe atmosphere, and students attend voluntarily, which we believe is key to their understanding of responsibility and opportunity.  While we sustain the “program,” the key ingredient to our program is the bond between our tutors and the youth.  To complement the education sessions, we occasionally take the youth to various arts, sports, or other community events to expand their worlds.

International Rescue Committee

• Be a family mentor
• You can "adopt" and work one-on-one with a newly arrived refugee family to help them adjust to their new lives in the United States.  This may include English conversation practice, discussions of cultural differences, city orientation and other things involved in getting to know the new community.  Family mentors volunteer for at least 2 hours a week, for a period of at least 3 months.
• ESL Assistant

• Help out at the Resettlement Shop

• Teach in the Computer Lab
• IRC needs volunteers to help clients utilize computer equipment and to provide them with necessary guidance.  Computer lab monitors will help refugee clients learn how to navigate the Internet, set up email accounts, improve their typing skills, create resumes, and learn basic functions of MS Office.  The computer lab is open from 9 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday.  A commitment of 2-3 hours a week is required.
• Tutor refugee youth
• IRC's After School Program is designed for refugee and American students in grades 7 to 12.  The program provides academic assistance, helps youth transition into their new homes and schools, and builds leadership skills.  Volunteers provide homework help, mentoring, and support for students.  The program takes place every school day between 3:00 and 5:00 pm at two locations:  Clarkston High School and the International Student Center, and also during the summer.
