Seven Youth Graduate to Become Junior Mentees at Albion
July 24, 2019 12:00 AM
The Mentors at SCI Albion held a graduation for seven youth to become junior mentees on July 3. Each participant had a mentor describe the qualities they have exhibited and why they were chosen out of the others to become junior mentees. Each candidate has remained misconduct free, participating in all programs, attending school and working a job. They have also shown growth in their personal lives and have taken steps to help others.
The program was taught by the Mentoring Partnership of Southwestern PA and The Mentor Project of Penn State Behrend Campus. Each inmate earned a certificate after the event. The facility hopes to bring Penn State back in the future for a formal mentoring 101 training.
