The Governor's One on One program provides technical assistance, training, monitoring and funding for local program coordinators who recruit, screen and match adult volunteers who agree to spend at least two hours per week or eight hours a month for one year in a one to one relationship with a troubled young person.
Program History
In February 1982, Governor Hunt created the Governor's One on One Program through an Executive Order. The first funding was in July 1982, and twelve programs were started by June of 1983. Over the next two years 22 additional programs were started. In 1998, a federally funded grant supporting 15 Americorps Fellows to promote volunteerism was added to the program.
Program Organization
Programs may operate either as:
- A component of an existing state or county agency, or
- A component of a private non-profit organization, or
- A newly chartered private non-profit organization.
Each program must maintain a local Advisory Board or, in the case of a newly chartered corporation, a Board of Directors. State funds may be used to off-set the personnel expenses of the program Coordinator and support staff with all other operating funds being raised locally by the program.
