Glover EmpowerMentoring

GEM’s ROOTS program creates a safe environment for varied life experiences, student voices, and cultures to be heard and supported. Youth are inspired to discover their full potentials by allowing them to openly discuss and share their personal understanding of their individual life experiences. This promotes a common understanding amongst each other.

This program serves students in Kent School District who are in 7th and 8th grade at both Meeker and Meridian Middle Schools. The GEM team teaches a unique curriculum around Social-emotional learning, Mentoring, Healthy coping strategies, Emotional and behavioral self-regulation skills, Advocacy and problem-solving techniques to empower students to overcome traumatic roadblocks, & providing a pathway to achieve success.
