Male Engagement Coordinator

CHIP Mentoring Program (Alternative Directions, Inc.)Baltimore, MD
The CHIP Mentoring Program is a program of Alternative Directions, Inc (ADI). As an extension of ADI's mission to serve those in prison and being released from prison, the CHIP Program serves children of incarcerated adults by matching these children with mentors from the Baltimore area. Any Baltimore City child, ages 6 - 17, whose parent is/was in prison is eligible to participate in the program. The CHIP Program also provides case management and other support services for these children and families. The CHIP Program, like the majority of mentoring programs around the United States, faces a continual lack of male volunteers. About 80% of CHIP mentors are female. While boys in the program are often matched with female mentors, many boys remain on the waiting list for months or years because of the lack of male mentors available. The Male Engagement Coordinator will work closely with the program director over 4 months to develop a male recruitment effort to engage males around from around the Baltimore area. This will include mentoring a boy on the CHIP waiting list; conducting informational interviews with male mentors and mentees; and contacting and visiting 4 to 6 local organizations to represent the CHIP Program and present the opportunities for men to get involved. Scheduling is flexible and will range from 4 to 6 hours per week. Apply through internships.com, or contact program director Sarah Kennedy at skennedy@alternativedirectionsinc.org to request an application. For more information, visit us at www.chipmentoring.org. Receiving college credit for this internship is optional. Applications are due by July 19th, 2013. The position is open until filled and may be filled before this date.
