Leave No Child
Waiting Mentoring Project
The Leave No Child Waiting Mentoring Project is a

be struggling at home or in school, a common outcome of having a parent
arrested and jailed. Mentors are linked with children between the ages
of 5 and 14, offering advocacy support to the child by
- Listening to the
child’s concerns
and questions as
well as those of caregivers
- Assisting with
schoolwork and encouraging
extracurricular
activities
- Creating
opportunities for recreation and
relaxation with the
child
- Providing family
support
Leave No Child Waiting services are avialable throughout Chelan County, Douglas County, and King County.
