younger students with similar interests. Started in Ridgefield, CT just a few years ago, the program aims to educate “the whole child”, featuring customized sessions that go beyond academics to sports, music, or other interests, as well as “dealing with social issues and challenges, balancing school and life, managing technology, manners and respect, and ‘hacks’ relative to the school, teachers, coaches and situations that we are familiar with because we were just there,” according to their website. The program has expanded to 32 states and 450+ towns in the last two years. CEO Derek Correia said he wants to make it available throughout the entire U.S., and eventually the world. “We have over 3,000 mentors who have applied, and roughly 50% of those have completed their vetting process and have been approved.” he said. “We have three mentors in the town of Butler and a few hundred in NJ. We’re always looking for more great students to apply to our program!” Correia said many parents initially come to RMM seeking academic help for their child. In other cases they may seek organizational skills and study habits, and some are looking for training and develop-
ment in a sport, music, or another extracurricular interest. “They find that the better engagement and dynamic sessions that occur because the mentor is closer in age makes the sessions more effective, while also saving substantially versus the cost of adult tutors or trainers,” he said. Now that mentorship is better understood, Correia said many parents also seek the social and emotional learning aspects of developing their child. They want their child to build character, self-confidence, empathy, and resilience. continued on page 7
