The mentorship program
Did the mentorship program work, and did you get paid?
The mentorship program definitely worked. He stopped a few kids from running away, which would have landed them in juvie, which he did not want for them. He helped a bunch of the kids there stop their self-harming habits. He was fourteen, and of course he got paid. He convinced them to pay him like fifteen dollars an hour, and he had to keep track of all his hours.
