Stream Mentoring creates opportunities for families at Kin Village and Trinity Square to explore and discover God’s love in action. This is done in a group setting through pairing children between the ages of 8 to 16 with a mentor. Unique to this program is that many of the mentees are non-Christian. In fact, many of the children come from single-parent homes, poverty, or a dysfunctional family dynamic. Stream Mentoring creates an excellent opportunity for mentors to be evangelistic and intentional about having spiritual conversations with their mentees. Each mentor and mentor coach are trained in the areas of spiritual formation, evangelism, and administration.

Stream Mentoring’s discipleship model ensures every volunteer is being taken care of spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. From onboarding to on-going training, the director oversees the entire program. The director also gathers all the Mentor Coaches for a monthly check-in to see how they are doing. Each mentor coach is assigned mentors to care for and to meet individually or as a group for a time of sharing, encouragement, and prayer once a month. The mentors aim to connect with their mentees at least twice a month, preferably weekly, for mentoring. For each meeting, Flow sponsors $10 for each mentee’s spending.
