More about ITWW:

ITWW is a partnership with Navera Community Services. Navera teaches coping mechanisms to groups of children with mental health challenges. Navera trains mentors to support these children as they transition from the group to real life. Mentors spend an hour a week with elementary-aged Mentee engaging in specially designed activities including board games and stories to support their Mentee. Our BBBSS Coordinator provides extra support to ensure your success!
