Mentoring for Children with Incarcerated Parents

I just learned about this program through the American School Counselor Association.

Caregiver's Choice is a nationwide initiative that helps connect adult mentors to children with a parent in a state or federal prison. They offer a $1,000 voucher which is like a scholarship for mentoring so parents/guardians can access this support for students. Visit www.mentoring.org for more information.

To enroll a child, call 877-333-2463 or go to
