Men, Step Up to the Plate and Become a Mentor

Special Appeal: We are especially in need of male mentors at this time. Please forward this appeal to any men you know who would consider becoming a mentor to a young person in foster care.

We have a growing group of young men (ages 6 to 20) in foster care who are looking for a male mentor.

CASA Mentors are caring adult (21 ) volunteers who form a close relationship with a young person in foster care and spend 4-6 hours per month with their mentees for at least a year. Mentees are young people, who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned at some point in their past. They need supportive adults to help teach them the skills they'll require to navigate life successfully.

Mentors receive free training and ongoing support from the CASA DC staff. Mentors are reimbursed up to $50 per month to cover activities and outings. The next training and orientation of the year will be held in late October.

If you are interested in learning more about mentoring an amazing child in foster care, please contact CASA DC today. You will be changing two lives forever.
