 There may be a small cost for the reproduction of certain materials, screening mentors, and sponsoring special Angel Tree Mentoring events. There is no obligation to pay Prison Fellowship for the program or materials.
Expenses incurred during mentor-child activities are typically covered by the mentor. Mentors are encouraged to do a variety of activities with their child. They can go to concerts, sports events, the amusement park, and the swimming pool. They can fly kites, build model airplanes, take a karate class together, have a Bible study, go out to eat, do a community service project. Most importantly, they should get to know one another by watching, talking, and listening. As long as the two are consistently spending time together, activities need not be costly.
Remember, the mentor is not expected to be the child's savior, therapist, surrogate parent, or peer pal. The mentor is meant to be a friend, a coach, a confidant, and a role model.
