    Description

    Volunteer Male Mentors Needed – Support Youth in Foster Care

    Teenage boys in foster care often lack consistent, positive male role models. Through mentoring, you can provide guidance, stability, and encouragement during a critical time in their lives.

    We are seeking compassionate, reliable male-identifying volunteers to mentor young men ages 14–23. Mentors build supportive relationships, help youth develop life skills, and offer a consistent presence they can count on.

    What you’ll do:

    • Meet regularly with your mentee (schedule is flexible)
    • Offer guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear
    • Support personal growth and goal-setting

    What we provide:

    • Comprehensive pre-service training
    • Ongoing staff support and check-ins
    • A community of fellow mentors

    No prior mentoring experience is required—just a willingness to show up, listen, and build a positive connection.

    Your time can make a meaningful, lasting difference.
