Description
Teens in foster care often can struggle. They are teenagers, but they also may not have a consistent person in their corner. That's tough. Our mentors provide a steady relationship by meeting with their "mentee" in a public space twice a month and, over time, helping the mentee realize that foster care is not the end of it. Every teen has opportunity and can live their dreams during and after foster care. We provide guidance as volunteers.
