Youth Development
The Be A Mentor Program pairs caring adult volunteers from the community with youth in one-to-one relationships. Mentors give of their time to be a friend, answering questions, and providing guidance. Mentors come from a variety of backgrounds and occupations and volunteer their personal time to be a caring friend to a youth. They serve as a role model, advocate, and resource.
The purpose of the mentoring relationship is to help youth develop their full potential, both in and outside of the classroom.
The COVID-19 Pandemic exacerbated many issues youth face. They are now dealing with increased challenges such as
- Isolation
- Anxiety
- Falling behind in their studies
- Goal setting
- Homework help
- Career exploration
While homework help may be part of the sessions, these meetings are more than just tutoring. You and your Mentee will form a personal relationship to help build resilience, social engagement, and a vital support network.
How Mentors Make a Difference- One-on-one attention
- Support
- Encouragement for success
This is an in-person group mentoring program- A commitment of 1 hour a week for 1 full year
All mentors are required to complete a background check and training. Our mentoring coordinator will be available for support throughout the program (from beginning to end).
