Mentoring Program

The Farmington Hills Economic Development Corporation proudly collaborates with Farmington Public Schools to offer a mentoring program for middle school students (ages 11-14). Mentors are made up of local business and community leaders that volunteer to meet with the students ten to twelve times during the school year. Students participating in the mentor program are selected based on recommendations from teachers, counselors, and the principal.

Meetings between the mentors and students take place at school and the worksite and usually last about two hours. Meetings include sharing information about careers, discussing career paths and employability skills, school performance and attitudes.

The 2007/08 will be the 8th year of this worthwhile program. If you are interested in participating please contact MaryBeth SiKora at Farmington Public Schools: (248) 426-4876.
