Details
Description
Better Than Yesterday Mentoring Inc. (BTYM) is seeking dedicated, caring mentors to join our Empower360 program — a transformative, bi‑weekly mentorship experience for high school students (grades 9–12) and recent graduates, ages 14–18, in Prince George’s County, MD.
Empower360 equips youth with the tools to thrive through personal development, identity building, life skills, and financial education (powered by our partner SECU MD). As a mentor, you’ll be a consistent, positive presence in a young person’s life — helping them set goals, build confidence, and navigate challenges.
Your Commitment:
- Meet with your mentee once a month in person (at a BTYM session or agreed‑upon safe location)
- Connect twice a week by phone, text, or video to check in, encourage, and guide
- Serve as a role model, active listener, and accountability partner
- Participate in mentor orientation and occasional check‑ins with BTYM staff
What You’ll Gain:
- The opportunity to make a lasting impact on a young person’s future
- Training, resources, and ongoing support from BTYM
- A network of like‑minded community leaders and changemakers
- The joy of seeing your mentee grow, achieve, and believe in themselves
Program Schedule:
- Empower360 Sessions: Bi‑weekly Saturdays, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (October 2025 – April 2026)
