Why Mentor?

"You can see their confidence & strength growing each week... Seeing that light glowing within each child’s eyes could uplift anyone’s day... It especially did mine." - Zarinah, Volunteer Mentor

• Build meaningful relationships with youth facing adversity

• Offer consistent encouragement and support each week

• Be a positive role model and help kids thrive socially, emotionally, and academically

What You'll Do:

• Guide academic enrichment and fun STEAM activities

• Participate in fitness games like football, yoga, obstacle courses & more!

Your Commitment:

• Mentor once a week for 2 hours (Monday-Thursday)

• Choose a consistent school site to visit each week

• Time slots vary between 12 PM - 6 PM based on location
