Gateway Technical College has become a community partner with Mentor Kenosha & Racine in providing the community with mentors for local organizations. The goal is to recruit Gateway employees who are interested in serving as volunteer mentors within the community. Our Gateway mentors develop a sense of civic pride and loyalty to our community, while providing our employees with personal growth and civic engagement opportunities.

Mentor Kenosha & Racine, developed through the Center for Community Partnerships at UW-Parkside, connects community partners and individuals by fostering meaningful mentoring relationships in the Racine and Kenosha counties. For more info on Mentor Kenosha & Racine, go to http://mentorkr.org.

Other mentoring opportunities exist through KABA’s Mentor program. KABA just recently kicked off their mentor program for the 2008/09 school year. Mentors through KABA work with children in grades 3-5 at Kenosha grade schools. More information can be obtained through Brenda Stanisauskis at 262.605.1100 or bstanisauskis@kaba.org.
