    Description

    Become a Wonder Mentor for Youth in Foster Care

    Wonder is a mentoring program matching children impacted by foster care, one-to-one, with caring, consistent adults. Mentors are trained to listen, support, and guide each child through fun, age-appropriate experiences in music, the arts, sports, volunteer service, dining out, and nature.

    The children enrolled in the program are called "Explorers" and the adults who volunteer and serve as mentors are called "Guides." Together, they participate in a journey of fun and exploration filled with Wonder moments. A Wonder Guide may be the most consistent adult a child in care has in their lives.

    We currently have a high need for BIPOC, male, and LGBTQ+ mentors!
