Description
| SKOOKUM MENTORS |
Skookum Kids has just launched a brand new pilot program, Skookum Mentors, where adult volunteers in our community will be matched with a foster child for one-on-one mentoring. Similar to a 'big brother-big sister' program, the focus of the mentorship will revolve around what we call recreational therapy, like taking kids to see a movie, to the park, or to Trampoline Zone!
No previous experience or training is required. Mentors must pass a background check. Volunteers must be 21 years of age, unless currently enrolled in a BA or BSW program.
Location
On-site
Whatcom County, Bellingham, Washington, US
