The Triangle Mentorship Program (TMP) is the first of its kind in Southwest Michigan. The TMP offers a unique and wonderful opportunity to mentor lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and allied students in high school. This year the program will team each mentee with one working professional mentor, who identifies as LGBT or a straight ally.
All students, and particularly LGBT youth, are in need of professional role models and caring adults. Not only will this be a fun and rewarding experience, but being a mentee will have a positive impact.
Each mentor will be required to spend one day a month with their mentee and participate in three of the four full group seasonal meet-ups, one of which will be a day long retreat on September 14, 2013. Mentees will have the opportunity to go with their mentors to work, out to lunch, to a sporting event, museum, or a number of other fun activities. In addition, there will be a required parent and student orientation in the summer.
Sign up by filling out the online form or printing out the paper application. We will be accepting youth year round, but the priority deadline is August 31.
