6 Eureka Mentoring Program Description This program is starting by mentoring parents who have currently a case plan with the State of Florida (Sarasota -Manatee Coalition) or want to build relationship with family. Guide them in the financial aspect, when parents get released from jail usually they become part of a vicious cycle coming back drugs or increasing the number of homeless. When parents have never being in jail, they believe that the case plan is the final countdown to lose their children, but with our mentors goals will be accomplished. Clients or Residents will accomplish the drug tests, job interviews, and visitations with the help of their mentors, who will make themselves available to provide transportation. Eureka program will provide the education program referral, setting up interviews, and trainings. Our mentors will provide budget plans assistance with our financial partners. Based in the community response we are going to start with 7 applicants who are parents with children in foster care or shelters, and with case plans from 1 year to 2 years and half.

7 Program Success Examples My own experience of raising two boys for almost two years, their mom was homeless with addiction problems. I had to be the guardian and in the same I chose to be the mentor for their mom as well. Empowering her, providing transportation, being the liaison in job interviews, providing transportation and make her able to understand that willingness makes a difference to reunify her family. After two years mom got a job, able to be clean and sober and she was reunify with her two boys. Empowerment, willingness, and relationship makes a lot a difference to make anyone understand how valuable they are. In the other hand the amount that the State spends for every case could be reduce, finding a mentor who can be liaison in their personal case plan.
