Nope! Enrollment is ongoing from September to May as long as we have space. The sign up form is linked here.
It is free for PUSD students, but we ask parents to try their best to commit to at least one meeting per month? There is also an option to donate to our program. Donate Here
Meetings focus on having conversations revolving around a shared aspect of the group's identity. Depending on the group's age, meetings usually involve an activity such as a game or art project and may include food or a snack.
Adults do not participate in the meetings but are always welcome to stay and hang out.
We meet at parks and school sites. Most meetings are held after school and on the weekends, but PMS will have the option to meet during lunchtime or Academy.
Some mentor groups meet weekly but most meet biweekly for 45 minutes to an hour.
We try our best to cohort by age and affinity (i.e. similar identities and experiences). Groups range anywhere from 2 - 10 students.
