Request for PSY-MAJOR Announcement - Autism Mentoring Program

Greetings,
The Autism Mentoring Program is a student group that matches highly motivated IU students with families in the Bloomington community who have a child diagnosed on the Autism spectrum. The goal of the program is to foster social skills relationship-building through a long-term (we ask for a minimum one-year commitment) mentor/mentee relationship with a child through nothing more complicated than spending a few hours a week hanging out and going on social outings to the movies, the park, whatever!
We are looking for both male and female mentors. Because Autism is more prevalent in males, some families specifically request male mentors if their children are older, and making a match with guys may be easier in some cases. But everyone is welcome and encouraged to apply! We currently have a few families waiting to be matched, but we are actively recruiting more! Matches may not be immediate, but we will keep your application on hand as more mentees are available.
If you are interested in forming a close friendship and making a difference in a child or adolescent’s life, then please visit the website ( http://www.indiana.edu/~iubhonor/honorvol/Autism.php ) for information about applying. We will be holding an informational callout meeting in room 108 in the Hutton Honors College building on October 20th from 6-6:30pm. Applications will be due by October 27th.
If you have any questions, please email me at mentorp@indiana.edu

Thanks,
Brian Donley
AMP Student Intern
