Overview

Mentor - You Can Be A Mentor By Being Yourself! role at Pathfinders

The Mentoring program is a community-based partnership of volunteer mentors from faith-based organizations, civic groups and businesses helping families and individuals along the path to self-sufficiency. Mentors are trained and matched with a family or individual in their community for one year.

The mentoring program assists people struggling to become stable and independent, including single working mothers, veterans, and people reentering the community after incarceration. Mentors are recruited who are motivated to make changes in their lives. We match them with an individual mentor or team of mentors who build a relationship with the family or individual and serve as a support system through encouragement, personal support, and life skills guidance.

Each mentor provides a broad range of support including budgeting, job preparation, decision making, emotional support, spiritual support, parenting and goal setting. The relationship activities are determined by the mentor and the mentee. The mentoring schedule is flexible, and the mentor and mentee set their own meeting times. A Pathfinders staff member participates in the mentoring relationship, providing staff support throughout the one-year mentorship.

This is not a program of financial support, but an opportunity to provide personal support to an individual in need.
