    Description

    Valley Youth House Mentoring Program is interested in connecting with individuals in the Norristown, PA area who possess a strong passion for working with a youth in the role of a MENTOR.

    This young woman enjoys watching WWE (wrestling) and wants to pursue amateur/professional wrestling herself in the future! She enjoys listening to hip-hop, pop, R&B, and rap music, video games (PlayStation 5 - 2k, GTA, Fortnite, etc.) and just keeping it simple by relaxing with friends and going on walks outside. She is more reserved and quieter and enjoys being around people with similar personalities. An interesting fact about her is that she wants to learn how to write in cursive since schools do not teach this anymore. She always thought cursive handwriting was beautiful. (30)

    Valley Youth House (VYH) empowers and strengthens the lives of children, youth and families through inclusive programming that builds resilience and fosters growth and independence. Mentors are encouraged to participate in meetings with youth on a bi-weekly basis. Mentors will receive formal and informal training on VYH best practices and must obtain clearances and complete an application process. Evening, and weekend opportunities are available to best support the schedule of the mentor and the mentee.

    For more information, please contact Mentoring Program Coordinator Lara Bader at 610-272-2946 (office number) or 484-577-3058 (direct line) or lbader@valleyyouthhouse.org
