Casey seeks to build mentoring program in Rhode IslandDaniel Casey is one of 20 AmeriCorps volunteers whose goal it is to recruit new mentors for students throughout Rhode Island.
Beginning this week and occurring the second and fourth Thursday of every month, The Pendulum will run a new feature to the newspaper. The "Mentoring Hour" will spotlight happenings, upcoming events, individuals and works from students concerning mentoring.
Daniel Casey is one of 20 AmeriCorps volunteers whose goal it is to recruit new mentors for students throughout Rhode Island.
Upon encountering members of the East Greenwich community, Casey poses a strategic and significant question to individuals.
He asks, "Who mentored you?"
After a brief moment of thought, most people answer "Nobody."
He then modifies the question, asking, "Who was there for you and made an impact in your life?"
Casey then gets that response he assured himself he would.
" Oh yeah," most people say while recalling the person who helped to shape their lives.
" A mentor is someone who touched your life in a positive and beneficial way," said Casey.
Casey, assigned to the East Greenwich school district as an AmeriCorps volunteer, joins in helping the Rhode Island Mentoring Partnership/Feinstein Mentor Network to kick off its drive to recruit 2000 mentors by the end of the year 2004. The Partnership has benefited from one of the largest AmeriCorps grants in Rhode Island and volunteers will work for the next 10 months, strengthening mentoring programs.
Toting a canvas bag with the words "Mentoring is my bag" written on the front, which was given to him by the Director of the East Greenwich Strategic Support Program Nina Mackta, Casey carries a myriad of information to distribute.
" I'm ready. I'm geared up and ready to recruit anybody and everybody," he said.
As someone who was mentored and has served as a mentor, Casey is one of mentoring's biggest advocates.
At the age of five, Casey tagged along with his older sisters when they attended the town's youth center. From there on Casey encountered adults who today, he describes as mentors.
He met Robert Houghtaling, the town's substance abuse prevention coordinator, Janet Joyce, welfare director, Thomas Joyce, juvenile police officer and the late Barbara Tufts, councilwoman.
" Over the years, I just stuck by their sides learning from them and trying to be like them," said Casey.
Casey, 26, has become somewhat of a staple in the community when it comes to programs for teens. Every Friday evening he can be found at the Swift Gym's Teen Center and throughout the week helping organize teen events such as the Red Ribbon Night, a dinner spotlighting drug awareness programs to be held later this month.
Mackta is excited about having Casey on board the town's mentoring program.
" He knows a lot of the kids, which is great," she said. "He grew up here and wants to make a contribution."
Casey is taking advantage of every opportunity where he may successfully recruit new mentors.
At last weekend's Harvest Festival, with the help of two students from East Greenwich High School's Interact Club, Casey had about two dozen potential mentors before he left.
Students Ben Cross and Jason Essex were successful in signing up individuals, both adults and high school students interested in mentoring lower school students, who were interested in additional information about the program.
Mentors typically spend up to one hour each week with their students. The East Greenwich mentoring program is looking for individuals to spend time with a child as well as businesses who are willing to sponsor workshops or events.
" You're making a difference in a human being life, so they can grow up and be what they want to be," said Casey. "Everyone has a dream and it's helping them realize it."
Mentoring programs have been implemented in 25 school districts throughout the state, with roughly 2200 participating mentors, a number AmeriCorps hopes to almost double within the year.
Fundraiser to be held
A fundraiser to benefit the East Greenwich Strategic Support Mentoring Program will be held on Thursday, October 23 at the Learning Express Toy Store. Located in the Super Stop & Shop Plaza, the toy store will host the fundraiser from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Twenty percent of the money from products purchased between the two-hour period will go directly to the mentoring program. Mackta is encouraging the community to attend with their Holiday shopping lists. Refreshments, including cheese and wine will be served.
For more information on East Greenwich's mentoring program, call Dan Casey or Nina Mackta at 885-6561.
