Mentoring program designed with careers in mind

Paul Jette knows people are worried about recent shootings and crime among Chattanooga’s teens.

He thinks most residents would like to help in some way.

And a federal grant is providing a way for people to do just that, he said.

Mr. Jette is a GoodGuides master mentor, a mentoring program for at-risk 16 and 17-year olds in Chattanooga and six other area counties. He and Marjean Gingrich have landed on a U.S. Department of Justice grant to help.
