TRUE Mentors offers free weekly enrichment program on Tuesday evenings at the Boys & Girls Club of Hoboken (123 Jefferson Street) from 6 – 8 p.m. during the school year. Our three-week long clubs change monthly, with every month offering two different club options for children. Clubs are offered on a variety of different enrichment topics including art, science, cooking, and more!  Between clubs we take free field trips to local businesses for youth to explore local businesses, different career options, and community resources.

The classes are open to all children between the ages of 7 – 13, and they create an opportunity for children to interact with other children and the volunteers. An example class structure is below.

• 6:00 – 6:25   Welcome & snack
• 6:25 – 7:00    Character & Team-building activity
• 7:00 – 8:00    Clubs meet in small groups

Meet the Volunteers

Kayla Darcey - Lead Mentor

Kayla moved to Hoboken earlier this year and wanted to get involved with a volunteer opportunity. "TRUE Mentors stood out as an organization, and I wanted to get involved because of their commitment and value of creating important relationships with the youth in Hoboken." Kayla started volunteering with TRUE Mentor's in April of 2016, earning herself the TM 'Rookie of the Year' Award at our annual volunteer recognition party. Kayla describes Tuesday's as her "favorite day of the week"  commenting that the "experience has been rewarding and fun"!
