Volunteer Opportunity description

Mentoring USA has two new sites in Brooklyn!!!

Mentoring USA (MUSA) is a non-profit organization that aims to forge powerful, transformative connections for young people through the advocacy and involvement of mentors. Using a one-to-one site-based model, our trained mentors inspire by example and model positive life choices. All of our programs take place at the facility where our partnerships exist, under the supervision of a Site Supervisor. We form partnerships with foster care agencies, public housing facilities, public schools and community centers and recruit our Mentees from these sources.
