Match Spotlight Mission Promise Neighborhoods School Spotlight: Malcolm X Scholarship Opportunities Log Reminder Mentoring & The Family Relationship Activity Ideas Mentor Training Calendar Aida and Mary at Fairmount Mentor Thanks! Match Spotlight: Aida & Mary Mary Devereaux is a former SFUSD elementary school teacher who currently mentors Aida Hernandez, a 4th grader at Fairmount Elementary school. Mary speaks Spanish fluently and also taught Spanish literacy for many years at City College. Mary and Aida have enjoyed being each others mentor/mentee since the beginning of Aida’s 3rd grade year. Just for fun, what is your favorite animal and why? MENTORING FOR SUCCESS 415-242-2615 www.healthiersf.org/ mentoringforsuccess AH: Ooh – puppies! I used to have some puppy pet stuffed animals that I loved when I was little. I think Mary’s is a bird! MD: Hmm…yes, I do like birds a lot, don’t I? Did you have a mentor as a youngster? MD: I didn’t have an official mentor, but I did have a neighbor that I guess you could say mentored me. She was very crafty and I loved arts and crafts. She was also a lot of fun and less strict than my parents. What led you to join the mentoring program? MD: Vida Sanford, one of the staff with Mentoring For Success, is a family friend and she introduced me to the idea of becoming a mentor. AH: Ms. Kristin asked me at the beginning of last year if I wanted to do it and I was excited and I met Mary. (continued on p. 3) Mission Promise Neighborhoods Earlier this year the Department of Education granted the Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), the Mission Promise Neighborhood (MPN) Grant. MPN is a city-wide community partnership that was created to support kids and families living, working and attending schools in the Mission District. It brings together schools, colleges, community organizations and community leaders to help “The best part was being able to get to know the students and help me understand who my students really are” kids graduate and families achieve financial stability. Project Arrive Group Mentor, Mission High School School “Spotlight”: Malcolm X This month, we went to Malcolm X Academy to find out about the amazing work they’re doing. We met with the Tzu Chi Foundation, an active community based partner that has been working with Malcolm X Academy since 2009, with Matt Higgins, the School Social Worker; his 5th grade mentee, Josh Simon and Josh’s grandmother, Ms. Dorothy Simpson. They gave us a snapshot of their long-term mentor/ mentee relationship and discussed the positive influence Josh is receiving as a result of being awarded our martial arts mentoring scholarship, one of many scholarships that we will be offering throughout the year! Going the distance…. On Saturday, September 7th, at John O’Connell High School, Mentoring for Success attended the MPN launch party where we organized interactive team building games to represent MFS as a collaborating partner in MPN’s vision. We LOVED watching the kids teaching the fire fighters to jump rope and challenge them to a fierce game of four square! Over the next several years Mentoring For Success will partner with MPN to build lasting mentoring relationships to youth who attend the MPN schools, Bryant Elementary, Cesar Chavez Elementary, Everett Middle, and John O’Connell High School. Miss Dorothy has committed a great deal of time to supporting the school through volunteerism – she’s volunteered weekly at the school’s food pantry for eleven (!) years, since her granddaughter started at the school. When asked about the mentoring program and her grandson’s participation she said she thinks it’s a great program, and that she trusts Matt, so she was comfortable with the mentorship. “Everybody needs someone….. Josh loves Matt, and since Josh has been mentored he doesn’t act up as much.” Matt was helping Josh out in the classroom when he was in kindergarten and officially started mentoring him in first grade. Now Josh is in fifth grade so they’ve spent a lot of time together. Josh says “every year we do something more fun.” (continued on page 3) 2 (continued from page 2) School Spotlight Match Spotlight (continued from page 1) How did you feel before the mentoring started? AH: I was nervous and a little bit scared because I didn’t know what to expect. “If I was having a problem in class, my mentor and me would go talk and then I’d would go back to class ready to be good.” Josh, 5th grade mentee, Malcolm X Academy MD: I was excited as well as nervous. I knew I wanted to work with a girl and I’ve lived in Guatemala before so I was glad that Aida, who’s family is from Guatemala, is my mentee! I wasn’t sure if Aida liked me at first because she was so quiet and very slow to warm up to me. Do you remember, Aida, what your first question was to me? “How old are you?!” (They both laugh) AH: I forgot that part! What activities have the two of you done together? Matt helps him if he’s having a hard time. “If I was having a problem in class, we’d go talk and then I’d go back to class ready to be good.” Josh’s advice for new mentees is to reach out to your mentor when you need help, give them “high fives” when you see them and have fun playing activities to help “keep it going strong.” Josh has started to talk to Matt about where he’ll go to middle school next year. One thing we know for sure is that “I’d like to keep in touch with Matt after I leave Malcolm X—he says he’ll come to my house and visit my school when I’m in sixth grade!” AH: Mary and I met last year when I was in 3rd grade. I really liked that this summer we went to the library every week and spent time studying and reading. Mary also had me get exercise by running or doing different things while we were walking to the library. MD: We also learned to do some typing while at the library and I always bring lunch for us when we meet at school. After we eat, we’ll play with some of the puppets in here at school or play cards. AH: If you remember the cards! What do you look forward to doing together this year? AH: I really liked the arts and crafts stuff we did around Christmas time. I also want to go to the library again with Mary. MD: I enjoy our lunches together and just spending time each week with each other. Any advice you would like to give to mentors or mentees who have just joined the program? AH: It can be scary at first and you may feel nervous, but it’s fun and Mary has helped me a lot in school. Scholarships During Spring 2013, Matt and Josh decided to apply for a martial arts scholarship through MFS. They researched neighborhood martial arts studios and then chose two to visit. Master Lockett from the Bayview YMCA invited them to come watch a class in session and they enrolled in the program for the summer. Matt and Ms. Dorothy agreed that Master Lockett is a great teacher, as well as one of his assistants, Don – both teachers live in the community too. Ms. Dorothy walks with Josh over the Hunter’s Point hill twice a week to take Josh to karate class at the YMCA. She says she loves watching Josh do karate, and loves watching karate so she doesn’t mind the steep walk to the class. (continued on page 5) MD: It’s been very rewarding and I have learned a lot as well from Aida and this experience! 3 Scholarship Opportunities!

A best practice in mentoring is to engage parents and caregivers with the recognition that their involvement is one of the most important contributors to the child’s success in school. When families are involved, students are more likely to: earn high grade-point averages and scores on standardized tests or rating scales pass more classes and earn more credits attend school regularly display positive attitudes about school have higher graduation rates refrain from destructive activities such as alcohol and drug use and violence “Going to my mentoring group was the funnest part of my week, every week” Project Arrive Group Mentee, Mission High School Here are some important Do’s and Don’ts to help Mentors build a relationship with their Mentee’s families: DO remember that your job is to be a friend to the mentee, not her parents, siblings, or other family members. (continued from page 3) School Spotlight “In the future I’d like to go to karate with Matt so he’ll be in class too.” Matt laughs and says maybe if the Master lets him. Nurturing Community Tzu Chi Foundation is an active community based partner that has been working with Malcolm X Academy since 2009. The Foundation brings volunteers into the school to build the school’s capacity. They started small by offering math tutoring for a couple of students and a Friday lunch for the staff, but since that first year the program has grown exponentially. DO share positive achievements of your mentee with parents. DO keep the caregiver informed about upcoming activities, special meetings, and schedule changes. DO support the parent by following their stated rules and being respectful of their opinions and beliefs. DO let your mentee know that you will keep information she shares with you in confidence unless it affects her health or welfare. DON’T get overly involved with the mentee’s family. Your primary relationship is with the mentee. DON’T try to become the family social worker, babysitter, counselor, or savior. If the family is struggling, notify your program staff and ask them to arrange for assistance. DON’T talk with the parent about problems or concerns while the child is present. Try to set up boundaries with the parent so that these conversations can occur in private. Adapted from: Making the Grade: A Guide to Incorporating Academic Achievement Into Mentoring Programs and Relationships 2005 Authors: Cannata, Garringer,MacRae,Wakeland While Tzu Chi continues providing math tutoring and Friday lunch to staff, they now have volunteers from the Peninsula and University of San Francisco to offer support through their “Happy Campus” program. One of the many important components to this program is that the foundation recruits volunteers to mentor students and then Matt trains and supports them in their mentorship. This partnership between Mentoring For Success and Tzu Chi has helps the Malcolm X community build strong relationships with children and their families. According to Roxanne Buchwitz of Tzu Chi (pictured with Matt Higgins above), the familiarity developed through the mentorship builds trust that extends to the whole family, enabling Tzu Chi to extend additional assistance when the need 5 Activity Ideas Training Calendar Sailing with America True Mentor 101 Tuesday November 7, 2013, 8:30-4 1515 Quintara St. India Basin Shoreline Park, SF Saturday, October 19th 12:00-4:00pm “I get balance and happiness out of mentoring.” Mike, Bessie Carmichael Middle School Mentor Join us for a picnic by the bay.
