The Great Relationships in Pairs (GRIP) Mentoring Program has been pairing children and older youth/adults in mentoring relationships since 1999. We match mentoring pairs in Ames, Ballard, Boone, Gilbert, Nevada, and Ogden. A program of Youth and Shelter Services, our mentors are making a world of difference! For more information on how to volunteer, please visit our website at http://www.yss.ames.ia.us/en/programs/grip_mentoring/for_potential_mentors/ We look forward to working with you!

Great support from our elected officials!
The Nevada mayor wasn't the only public official to support GRIP Mentoring this month.
Ames City Councilman Peter Orazem filled in for Mayor Ann Campbell and declared January to be National Mentoring Month for the city. He met with a group of mentors and mentees not only from GRIP, but the other certified mentoring program in Ames run by Lutheran Services of Iowa. They have a mentoring program for children and youth living at their Beloit facility.
The Story County Board of Supervisors also declared it to be National Mentoring Month. Supervisors Wayne Clinton, Rick Sanders, and Paul Toot all voted to support GRIP Mentoring and LSI's mentoring program.
It's great to have the support of our elected officials!
