School-Based Mentoring

Our School-Based Mentoring program matches high school and adult volunteers with youth. Once matched, the volunteer and child spend one hour every other week together at the school.

Community-Based Mentoring

Our Community-Based Mentoring program matches adult volunteers with youth in the community. Once matched, the volunteer and child meet twice a month to do things they both enjoy.

E-Mentoring

The e-mentoring program is a way for volunteers to mentor a child within a virtual setting. Volunteers serve as mentors from their phones and computers at a minimum of 30 minutes each week.
