Mentoring Program and other news
  • Posted on 09.20.2007

Since our first meeting in February of 2007, STRUTS has been building speed and have a great time! STRUTS youth have attended meetings and dinners and discussed topics such as peer pressure, bullying, discrimination, college prospects, school work, sports and much more. Youth participants determine meeting activities and steer conversation, in a safe, accepting and supportive environment.

    Meeting activities have included:
  • Visiting Windfire, a Traverse City GLTBQ teen group
  • Attending Michigan Pride Festival and March
  • Swimming at the beach
  • Bowling
  • Painting ceramics
  • Movies
  • Picnics
  • Rock climbing
For the 2007-2008 school year, STRUTS is adding a mentoring program, funded by a Michigan Campus Compact Brighter Futures grant as part of their Investing in College Futures program, to match STRUTS youth with CMU students for social and academic support, including homework help and help completing college admissions and financial aid materials.

We have also added a weekly, adult moderated web chat on Thursday nights, from 7:30pm to 9:00pm. Chats will begin October 3, 2007 and are moderated by STRUTS Coordinator, Rachel Prevatt, and the STRUTS facilitator, Daniel Drevon. E-mail us at struts@cmich.edu to find out more!
