Connect Two

About Us

Connect Two is a school-based mentoring program that pairs caring adult volunteers with students who need extra encouragement, connection, and positive role models. Operating in partnership with schools in Grand Haven and Spring Lake, the program serves K–8 students. Each student is matched with a trained mentor who meets with them regularly throughout the school year, providing support, listening, and guidance to help build confidence and resilience in both academic and social settings.

Our Mission

Inspiring hope, joy and confidence through school-based mentoring with the love of Jesus.

Connect Two equips members of the Tri-Cities community to be matched with a student for weekly school-based mentoring sessions. We are a Christ-centered ministry and we pray that all those who participate may experience the transforming power and love of Christ.

School-Based

Mentors meet with students on site at the school.

Weekly

Students and mentors meet once weekly for 45 minutes.

September - May

The program runs throughout the school year and concludes in the summer.

“I love the Connect Two program because I see firsthand the joy and growth it brings to our students. The kids light up when they see their mentors, and over time, we witness incredible progress- in confidence, social skills, and academics. Having a caring, consistent adult role model makes such a difference in their lives. If you’re looking for a meaningful way to support kids in our school, becoming a mentor is truly a rewarding experience!” – GHAPS Social Worker

 

As a ministry of Love In Action of the Tri-Cities, Connect Two partners closely with the organization to connect students and families to a wider network of community resources. This partnership allows mentoring relationships to be strengthened with additional support when needed, helping families grow with both consistent encouragement and access to practical care.
