Mentor - Pathways Youth Program - 2026-2027

Join us to become a Mentor for the 2026-2027 youth programming season!

Four Corners team members dedicate time and a listening ear to offer hope to youth in crisis while helping them discover the pathway to becoming a thriving adult. Our mentors are a vital part of our team and this discovery process. Mentors spend an average of 3-5 hours each month with their mentees and are expected to walk the journey with each student for at least one year. As a mentor you may assist with career exploration, goal setting, or simply sharing your personal experiences from your life journey that are appropriate for the student. Each Mentor will work with a small group of same-gender Mentees over the course of the year, meeting at pre-determined intervals at one of our program locations (Marietta or Austell).

The mentor application process will include a background check, training, and personality assessment in order to make the best match possible for you and the student.
