Youth Mentor

CornerStone is looking for positive adult role models who want to build a connection with teens and tweens in the Frazee area. No experience needed, just a willingness to listen and interact with youth. As a Youth Mentor you will hang out with school-aged children after school hours in our youth center space assisting staff with activities and general supervision. While we are not a child care center and youth are free to come and go as they please, we guide participants in making good decisions about their safety and wellbeing.

Youth love to engage in art projects, gaming, billiards, cooking, and more. They are always looking to learn something new so volunteers are encouraged to share their own talent or hobby as well. CornerStone provides a daily snack to hungry youth after school and weekly activities such as bingo, sewing, volunteering, or field trips. Volunteers will help with various tasks such as snack prep, special activities, clean-up, or activities depending on your strengths and desires. Our major goal with youth programming is to build trust and connection helping youth feel positive caring relationships in our community.

Volunteers must be able to communicate availability so we can plan staffing, must be able to provide a welcoming environment for youth in all walks of life, and may be asked to complete a criminal background check. Preference is given to adults 18 and older, but mature teens are encouraged to apply.
