Mentoring Volunteers
Volunteer Opportunities
As a mentor, you will be forming connections with your paired mentee at least one (1) hour each week through bonding activities, facilitating open communication, and providing a safe space to learn and grow together. You will be able to gain a deeper understanding of young people and create new, positive relationships with a student to help them grow. In addition, you are also expected to follow an evidence-based activity plan that benefits and accommodates your mentee.
