Mentor Ohana presents the Career & Vocational Teen Mentoring (CVTM) program
Available to everyone aged 12 - 17 years old
This exciting program teaches valuable life skills through a fun
after school program that takes participants on field trips each week to local
business to learn what it takes to start, run and work at businesses in their interest
area. This program directly addresses the critical youth risk factor of "low connection
with community" prevalent here on Kauai.
Our model is to work in mentor "pods" that
are comprised of four adult mentors and 5 - 8 teen participants.

This program has three tracks:
 |
Media Technology: Teens create 5 - 10 minute radio shows participating
in script writing, reading, public speaking, computer software, creative problem
solving and learning other self esteem-building skills. |
Healthcare Careers: Participants work with visiting healthcare professionals at school and on
location at medical clinics, hospitals, spas, government agencies and other business
sites.
Small Business: Teens select which businesses they would like
to learn about and then work with their mentor pod to develop questions to ask
when they go and visit businesses on alternating days. Sessions at school will
focus on life skills ranging from filling in job applications to managing a bank
account.

Participants - both teens and mentors - sign a two month contract
to participate in this program which provides all transportation from school, to
business locations, and then home. At the end of the contract period, those who
remain to the conclusion get to participate in the group fundraising effort upon
which they will work together to generate and profit and loss statement of their
project and divide the profits amongst themselves. |
