Specifications include, but are not limited to: Service Description By engaging New Mexico at-risk youth in a mentoring program to assist in identifying and attaining academic and personal goals, our youth and young adults will be better prepared for their GED, high school graduation, advancement to technical school/college, or the workforce and become productive members in their local communities and the state of New Mexico. The One-on-One and Group Youth Mentoring programs will provide youth with the confidence, resources, continuity, and support they need to achieve their potential. One-on-One (Individual) Mentoring Contractor(s) must provide face-to-face one-on-one (individual) youth mentoring services in the outlined program areas. Contractor(s) shall have the capability to match qualified mentors with troubled or at-risk youth, who need or who will benefit from having a caring, responsible adult in their lives, to ensure that youth may achieve their potential. Mentoring services may take place in a variety of venue settings within New Mexico. Contractor(s) will be reimbursed $50 per hour for youth receiving four or more hours of services per month. Group Youth Mentoring Contractor(s) must provide face-to-face group youth mentoring services to eligible youth within a group setting in the outline program areas. It has been determined that a more formal, smaller group mentor-mentee ratio is in line with national practices and would better serve mentees than current less-formal, large group approach. Groups are thereby defined as having one mentor to six mentees (1:6) and consisting of a specific curriculum or structured learning objective over the course of four or more hours per month. Contractor(s) will be reimbursed $15 per hour for each eligible/registered youth member of a funded group activity, within the outlined program areas, operational at least four hours or more per month.
