Parental Involvement

Case studies have shown that most mentoring programs fail because they do not recognize the powerful influence parents and the immediate environment have on the participants. To ensure success, a mentoring program must have “buy in” and consistent support from the participants’ parents and grandparents.

Understanding this, CGI works directly with parents and care providers, encouraging and assisting them to use their influence to support their daughters’ in their work in the program.

In order for us to achieve great success we need the positive reinforcement from the power influence—the parents and care providers.
