Harbor Hall Men’s and Hope House Ladies Shelter Mentors

A mentor is a person who is going to invest in the resident with more 1-on-1 time. This is accomplished in many ways. One way might be talking over cove-fee or a meal; time with the resident is a key component. Over time they will open up and use the mentor as a person for advice and to pray with about different issues. They usually meet once a week.

Harbor Hall Resident Assistant

A Resident Assistant is a man who provides reminders for the men to keep on schedules at night or on the weekends. He is also investing his life in them by whatever means possible. Some men sit and talk, play pool or ping pong, or work in the kitchen on a meal. They function as the Pro-gram Manager's eyes and ears when he unable to be there.
