GROUP MENTORING

A SAFE PLACE WHERE KIDS ARE KNOWN AND LOVED

K-5 Students

Group Mentoring is where kids come after school each week to discover hope, confidence, and purpose through a mix of fun, faith-filled, and growth-centered activities with trusted, intentional mentors.

Together, helping them build lasting relationships, develop essential life skills, and grow in their understanding of who they are in Christ.

What To Expect At Group Mentoring

Every aspect of Group Mentoring is built around seeing kids thrive in mind, body, and spirit.

Fun Games & Activities

Group Mentoring is a place for kids to have fun with friends and fun-loving mentors!

Why: We want to see kids grow in relationships by learning how to make friends, resolve conflict, and trust others.

Study Buddies

Developing reading skills can radically impact a child’s future in the best way! That’s why we spend time helping kids practice reading each day.

Why: Our goal is for kids to grow in confidence in a way that prepares them for life with a bright future.

We’re committed to seeing kids thrive emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. Mentors lead kids in studies of biblical concepts and activities to help kids realize God loves them and lean into His promises.

Why: We want to see kids find and grow in their identity in Christ.

Skill Spark

Mentors lead Skill Spark classes focused on helping kids develop the life skills associated with Social Emotional Learning.

Healthy Snacks

Part of seeing kids thrive in mind, body, and spirit means ensuring our kids have healthy, nutritious snacks to fuel fun, learning, and growth.

Testimonials

What Our Mentoring Network Says

“My son is in middle school and continues to beg for friends to go with him on outings. I told him that is not allowed and asked him why? He said that the Mentor was young, fun and that all of his friends need Mentors. He and I are so grateful to have a Mentor.”

Parent of an EZE Mentee

“My mentor teaches me about Jesus. We did a devotional where I had to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube and then I had to try and put it back in. Guess what? It was messy. Just like sin. It’s messy and it can get everywhere.”

EZE Mentee

“It is vitally important to have a relationship with my mentee’s family. I love my mentee’s mom and siblings. I’m so appreciative that they have allowed me to be a part of their lives.”
