What are the requirements to become a mentor?

Would you want to make a difference in the life of a child? We ask each mentor to commit to one year of mentoring. It is possible to team up and mentor one child with another partner. We ask that you meet once a week for a minimum of one hour with your dreamer. We ask that you be the conduit of communication between Dream Catchers and your dreamer and their family. We ask that you participate in 2 of our fundraising activities and attend as many group mentoring activities as possible to act as chaperones and enjoy our fun activities with the children.

What is the Dream Catcher Group Mentoring program?​

Are all students able to participate with Dream Catchers?​

All students from 3rd grade on are welcome to participate in our Monthly Group Mentoring program. The first meeting of each school year, the parents are invited to come learn about the program, get the schedule for the year, and fill out an updated permission slip for being in the program.

How are the students selected to be a Dream Catcher?​

​Each year, five students are randomly selected from a pool of third grade, who are on the free or reduced lunch program and whose parents did not attend college. The scholarship allows these children, their parents, and their friends to prepare for a future where higher education is a reality.

To receive the scholarship, the five students must graduate from West Liberty High School, fulfilling all graduation requirements, and participate in the Dream Catchers mentor program from grades three through twelve.
