Description

Matches youth ages 7 - 17 with adult volunteers for one-on-one, community based mentoring. Matches are made based on complementary interests, personality, goals, identity and lived experiences. The agency with their community partners offers a diverse array of free and low-cost activities for mentors and mentees to do together. Program advocates provide ongoing, wrap-around support for mentor-mentee matches, checking in with enrolled families and mentors about once a month, with more frequent email communication about upcoming activities and events. Youth can stay enrolled in the program until they graduate from high school or turn 18 (whichever is later). Minimum of one-year commitment from both mentors and enrolled youth. Mentors are expected to spend 4 - 6 hours per month with their mentee.
