The Serpentine Project

Personalized Mentorship

Personalized mentorship is the foundation of the Serpentine Project program model.  Each Serpentine Youth is recommended by his or her mentor, who is assigned to them through the Alliance for Children’s Rights.  The Serpentine staff meets with each youth regularly and works alongside his or her mentor to help set goals, identify and eliminate obstacles, and monitor personal progress.

.

Goal Setting

The dreams of each youth lie at the very heart of the Serpentine Project. The first stage of the Serpentine Project is a goal setting exercise.  Together with the Serpentine staff, Serpentine Youth set realistic goals that can be achieved over the course of a year and will ultimately lead to a future of greatness.  The goal setting exercise is reviewed quarterly.

.

Life Grants

Each Serpentine Youth can apply for Life Grants through The Serpentine Project.  These financial resources must be used to assist our youth in achieving their goals.  Example Life Grants include funds for tuition, books and supplies, rent assistance and medical costs.

.

Life Skills Trainings

Due to our intimate program model, life skills trainings are tailored to the individual needs of each youth.  Example trainings include resume building, personal budget management, study-skills, interview techniques, finding a primary care physician, obtaining internships and job shadow opportunities.  These trainings help prepare Serpentine Youth for a successful future.
