Windsor County Mentors Inc

Windsor County Mentors furthers its vision by creating and nurturing both school and community-based mentoring partnerships, free of charge, to any Windsor County child between 5 and 18 who could benefit from a long-term, trusting relationship with an adult in their community. In WCM's nearly 50-year history, we have created more than 1,500 mentoring partnerships.Windsor County Mentors serves children across the largest county in the state, which is mostly rural. Most of the children in our programs are already at risk for stress-related issues throughout their lives, even before COVID-19. Our referrals come from school guidance counselors, and more than half of the children in our program are in kinship care with a non-parent relative and nearly all are low-income. We focus our efforts on quality, continuity, and geographic distribution. We maintain nationally recognized quality standards in our mentoring practice, including offering informational gatherings for our mentors.
