HUNTSVILLE – Huntsville Parks & Recreation will open registration next week for its popular Male Mentorship Program.
The program for the upcoming school year is also looking for dedicated and compassionate mentors to join the team.
Aimed at empowering boys ages 7-16 to become confident, positive individuals, the program helps build life skills through activities, mentors and inspirational speakers.
“This initiative is among the most fulfilling programs we offer because it shapes the lives of our youth, equipping them with skills that are fundamental to their future success,” Parks & Recreation Director James Gossett said. “We hope our enthusiasm about the program is shared by others in our community who have wisdom to share with our participants.”
Registration opens Monday and runs through Aug. 19. Space is limited; the registration fee is $25 per child.
Scheduled throughout the school year and overseen by trained recreation staff, the Male Mentorship Program presents opportunities for participants to learn, grow and build meaningful connections in a safe environment.
The program is structured into two age groups – ages 7-12 and ages 13-16 – tailored to provide personalized attention and development.
In addition to participants, the program is seeking male mentors who are passionate about making a positive impact in the community. The prospective mentors will undergo a thorough background check to ensure the safety and well-being of program participants.
