Mentor needed for the Project Village Program for Children with Incarcerated Parents

Greetings:
As many of you know, we are still doing case management and referrals for this program for children with incarcerated parents.  However, if and when we receive a request for a mentor, we are desperately seeking to match the child with a mentor.
I am looking for a mentor from one of our District Association Churches for an eight (8)year old that lives on Maffit in the 63115 zip code area.  Mother is incarcerated, and the Dad is in another state.  The Child is being raised by his Grandmother.  He loves basketball, football and movies; plays with cars, and his bike. Although he was suspended due to behavior challenges (probably because of abandonment of both parents), he has indicated that he would like to become a police officer.  He needs your help.  There are no males in his life.  If you are interested in spending at least four (4) hours per month with this child via telephone, church, activities and events, home visits, etc., please give me a call.  Commitment is important because it's devastating for the child to build a relationship and not keep it going.  This is what many of these children are accustomed to not having, dependable love ones.  As a result, at least a one year commitment is recommended.  Additional orientation and training is available.
Note:  We can utilize Pastors as mentors  This gives the children the opportunity to learn some of the things preachers/pastors do, and about various types of ministries and careers.
