TRAClife / Mentor Program

TRAClife is a year-long mentoring program that starts when Teen Reach Adventure Camp ends.

Mentoring is a time-proven process that can help young people of all circumstances achieve their full “potential”. Mentors are caring individuals who, along with legal guardians, provide young people with support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and a constructive, positive example. 

For youth who are eligible for TRAClife, this relationship can now begin after they attend Teen Reach Adventure Camp (TRAC), where they meet fun and safe adults that have gone through mentorship training and have undergone a thorough background check and fingerprinting. A successful mentoring relationship is defined by the mentor and mentee who are in the relationship. They must share a “safe”, “close” and “trusting” relationship. Such relationships don’t just happen. They need ongoing support and monitoring, particularly during the early stages, to ensure that the relationships do not terminate prematurely. Each TRAClife mentor makes at least a one year, twice a month commitment to the youth they connect with.
