"at-risk" in this case means, "poor, Black, no father figure." This is a program through my children's school.

My first thought was to find a man to do it. For various good reasons, none of my male relatives are available. Do I step up and take a swing at it? If so, what the hell do I do? I have never mentored a boy before. We're not allowed to leave school grounds, so basically we'd have lunch together and talk.
