PALS: Pride And Life Skills Mentoring Program
The Pride And Life Skills mentoring program (PALS) is a cooperative venture between The Ohio State University at Marion, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Marion County, and Marion Public Schools to develop a mentoring program that is a win-win situation for both elementary, middle school students and college students. PALS, connects college students from the Marion campus with grade school children in the Marion area to provide one-on-one mentoring opportunities for kids. Big Brothers/Big Sisters matches program volunteers with school age children and provides each a useful handbook to direct them through the mentoring process. Students earn 1-credit per quarter of independent study by attending mentoring sessions regularly, coming to a few meetings, and writing a two-page report about their mentoring activities at the end of each quarter.
