“Huskies carve out time in hectic schedules to become mentors and volunteers.” “Thank you to these amazing young men”… Hazel Cameron, 4C Executive Director

We are grateful!
Hazel Cameron is a member of United Way Love and Liberation and Racial Equity Coalition
4C as contractor shall provide United Way of King County (UWKC) with the scope and range of services and performance commitments the following services…
Project Overview:
This funding supports activities that keep youth of color connected to their education through culturally integrative services.
These youth services are designed to promote healthy acculturation in the form of integration where a young person of color has a balanced sense of cultural identity and the ability to navigate the mainstream school systems.
We will also work with the parent of the youth … these services will help parents understand the acculturation process that their children are going through and help ease any acculturative stress that exists in families.
4C Target Population: youth of color in grades 6th that are considered “at-risk” of dropping out of school. 4C is required to provide culturally integrative acculturation services for youth of color in order to keep them engaged in school.
The 4C program follows these JRA mentor guidelines:
We follow the evaluated Juvenile Rehabilitation Administrative (JRA) Mentor Program model, evaluated and conducted by the Washington State Institute of Public Policy.
A mentor is a trusted adult who completes a screening process and is same-gender matched to their mentee. The mentors volunteer to assist youth in setting and fulfilling educational and vocational goals. When needed, they also encourage and support youths who seek to live a drug- and crime-free lifestyle.
Aimed at developing the young person’s competence and character, a mentor is an adult who–along with a young person’s parents or guardians–provides support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement, and constructive examples of how to make choices that serve him or her. Mentors are good listeners who care and want to help young people discover strengths that are already present or which need a little cultivation.
