Mentoring Program

Our Mentoring Program is a mutually beneficial experience that pairs youth ages 6-12 years old in need of additional adult presence in their lives with a trusted adult mentor from the local community. Mentor matches are encouraged to spend a minimum of four hours a month together participating in activities that can help expand each person’s worldview including volunteering, trying new foods, making crafts, participating in fun activities, attending local events, and more. Our Mentoring Program also brings all matches and youth on the waitlist together once per month for planned social and creative activities.

After School Program Volunteer

Adults who are interested in providing direct service to youth have the opportunity to volunteer at one of our After School Program locations. Volunteers will assist elementary and middle school aged youth in completing their homework and then have the opportunity to help implement or supervise social emotional learning, team-building, craft, or recreational activities. Each location operates two times a week – Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday.
