About this organization
Mission
WHAT WE DO Son of a Saint exists to enhance the lives of fatherless boys through mentorship, emotional support, development of life skills, exposure to constructive experiences and formation of positive, lasting peer-to- peer relationships. We serve the New Orleans Metro Area.
About
Behavioral Health - Son of a Saint employs a mental health specialist to provide evaluations and regular ongoing counseling for our boys. Recreational Access - Son of a Saint mentees are exposed to horseback riding, fishing, yoga, music, chess, the arts and more. Every boy participates in at least one of these activities weekly. Mentors also support and encourage our boys in their extracurricular activities by attending games. Group + One-on-One Mentorship - Regular daylong mentorship sessions are designed to aid in our boys' academic, personal and overall development. We host 20 group mentorship sessions per month, on average, covering topics such as etiquette, time management, decision-making, critical thinking, anger management, moral reasoning, life skills, work ethic, leadership, civic responsibility, teamwork and integrity. Kids and mentors also frequent outings, such as sporting events, educational trips, movies, dining, parades and volunteer activities. Most of our boys are also paired with a dedicated mentor to facilitate an ongoing, one-on-one mentoring relationship. Broadening of Horizons - When opportunities present themselves, we hit the road...or the skies. Through travel grants, Son of a Saint has taken groups of boys to Washington DC, New Hampshire, Asheville, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Montreal, Costa Rica, Africa, and more. Tutoring - Son of a Saint pairs boys in need of educational support with qualified tutors. These volunteer educators are all current New Orleans middle school or high school teachers, familiar with the boys' coursework. Tuition Assistance - Son of a Saint works to provide middle school and high school scholarships allowing Son of a Saint mentees and others to attend tuition-based schools in the New Orleans area. This is primarily done through Son of a Saint Scholars, which is our Student Tuition Organization selected by the Louisiana Department of Education to help facilitate the state's Tuition Donation Credit Program.
