Project Overview:
Foster youth in the East Bay are in desperate need of caring adults like YOU.
This is an in-person mentoring program where you will spend time with your mentee exploring, talking, and learning about them. You might play basketball together, work on homework, or just try new foods. There is no set curriculum but there is a lot of freedom to do anything that interests you both.
What we are looking for:
- Caring adults 21 or over
- who have reliable access to a car
- Someone who is empathetic, a good listener, and wants to make a difference in the life of a young person.
- A commitment of 1 hour a week for a full year
All mentors are required to complete a background check and training. Our mentoring coordinator will be available for support throughout the program (from beginning to end).
Many of the youth we serve have never had an adult really listen and care for them until they get a mentor. Often, they feel the world is against them. We believe in the potential of every child, and mentoring as a tool to help youth succeed.
