Online Mentor To Youth

Become An Online Mentor To A Youth In-Need

Be A Mentor, Inc. (SF Bay Area)

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.

Sign up with Be A Mentor to be a Virtual Academic Mentor to a struggling youth. We need your special skills and perspective to show a young person what opportunities they have and give them the confidence to work towards big goals. Interested mentors must be located in the U.S.

An Academic Mentor is a trusted caring adult that spends at least one hour per week with their mentee using Be A Mentor’s Virtual Mentoring Platform. As a Mentor, you will focus on goal setting, homework help, and career exploration. While there may be a focus on homework help in the meetings, these sessions are more than just tutoring. You and your Mentee will form a personal relationship to build resilience, social engagement, and a support network.

Virtual mentoring removes barriers of distance, requires no commute time, and can offer a flexible schedule. However, mentors must be in the United States. Due to our current background check system we are unable to accept anyone outside of the US at this time.
