How to Get Involved

You're probably asking yourself, "How do I become a part of this incredible ministry?" Well, I'm glad you asked!

First, you need to attend an informational coffee. The next coffee will be held:
  • August 29th at 10am OR August 30th at 3pm in room 302 at Northwood Church
  • At the coffee, you will fill out a profile card that lets us know a little bit more about you. This will help us match you with an appropriate mentor or mentee.
Second, you will need to attend Kickoff Night. This night will happen one to two weeks after the initial informational coffee. Sometimes the matching happens within a week and sometimes it takes a couple weeks to match everyone with the best mentor/mentee. You will receive an email and a phone call telling you when Kick Off Night will be scheduled.
  • Kickoff night happens on a Thursday night from 7pm-9pm at Kari Minter's home.
  • Only Mentors attend from 7-8pm. It is at this time they are told who they will be mentoring, given their mentees profile card and picture, and receiving some initial training.
  • Mentees arrive at 8pm. They will meet their mentors, schedule a time to meet for the first time, and receive some training and guidelines for the 6 month commitment. Be sure to bring your calendar with you!
  • This meeting is mandatory! I've discovered that those who don't attend this kick off night, tend to not connect with their mentor/mentee for a month or two. It is important that we all begin this journey at the same time.
Third, you need to attend training sessions throughout the 6 month commitment.
  • Mentors: October 15th, 7:30pm at Kari Minter's home and January 14th, 7:30pm at Kari Minter's home.
  • Mentees: November 19th, 7:30pm at Kari Minter's home.
