Description

Youth in elementary and middle school are matched with adult and high school volunteers who serve as mentors, offering friendship, guidance, and support to build trust and key life skills. Mentors meet weekly with youth at their schools for fun and engaging activities. Program staff speak regularly with mentors, teachers, and youth to offer ongoing support and assistance. All mentors undergo background checks, interviews, and training before being matched based on location, personality, and preferences.
