Become a Youth Mentor for Teens and Young Adults - Willimantic Region
Children in Placement is a 501(c)3 non‑profit that has been helping the children of Connecticut since 1979. We strive to be Connecticut’s recognized leader and, in this role, bring awareness, partnerships, resources and systemic policy changes supporting children and youth in accessing the supports they need to develop and eventually become successful adults.
Children in Placement is a non‑profit organization that trains local volunteers throughout Connecticut to advocate for abused and neglected children in foster care.
Our Youth Sponsors serve as a steady, consistent support to youth 13‑24 years of age that have been in foster care without permanent placement, multiple placements, or are close to aging out of the child welfare system and for whom adoption is no longer wanted or a viable choice. Youth Sponsors provide:
- A stable adult to provide guidance
- A positive role model
- A connection to other clinical and support services
- A source of happiness
- A guide to improving the life of the child
- A support system, attending permanency planning meetings and vital family educational meetings to ensure the youth’s needs are being met
To participate in this opportunity, please contact us or fill out the volunteer application at www.childreninplacement.org
