Why mentor

It’s simpler than you think

You don’t need to be an expert

You need to be consistent and care. We provide the training, tools, and a coordinator who has your back.

A couple of hours a week

Most mentors meet their mentee for an hour or two each week — around your real schedule.

It changes you too

Mentors tell us they get back as much as they give. Showing up for a young person is its own reward.

What to expect

Becoming a mentor

1
Express interest
Fill out the form — it takes about five minutes and tells us how you’d like to help.
2
Application & background check
Mentors complete a full application, references, and a background check. This is standard for any youth-serving program — and it keeps the young people we serve safe.
3
Training
A half-day new-mentor training covers youth safety, communication, and what makes a match thrive.
4
Get matched
A coordinator pairs you with a mentee, then supports your match every step of the way.

Time commitment: mentors commit to roughly 1–2 hours a week for at least 12 months. Consistency is what makes mentoring work — and it’s why we ask for a real commitment up front.
