One 2 One

The one 2 one inclusive recreation program is offered through the Yakima County Parent to Parent program at Children's Village. one 2 one trains teen volunteers to become mentors to kids with disabilities. Mentor's provide support to the kids during participation in community recreation activities such as sports, dance, gymnastics, karate, yoga and teen club activities. Prior to becoming a one 2 one mentor, the following process must be completed:

• Attend a three-hour training session that focuses on team building, disability awareness, communication techniques, and positive support practices.
• Complete an application process that includes a recreational interest survey, background clearance, and two personal references.

Once the above items are completed the mentor will receive a bi-monthly newsletter and calendar including all of the events currently scheduled. They will then have the opportunity to call the coordinator to register for events of their choice, idealy two per month.

The time commitment required varies according to recreational opportunities chosen. No program fees apply for the volunteer mentor.
