OCY Mentoring Volunteer Mentor - Southeastern MA

Old Colony Y Mentoring matches adult volunteers, ages 21+, with young people ages 9-17 for one year in our 1:1 mentoring program or for 4 months in our Group Mentoring program. Through our mentoring programs, mentoring relationships are established to help youth develop tools to cope with issues such as low self-esteem, family and peer conflicts, problems at school, and to improve their decision-making skills these skills can be worked on through conversation and dialogue with their mentor while participating in numerous activities.

We ask that for 1:1 Mentoring you have the ability to consistently spend 1-3 hours each week with a child for one year (exact scheduled to be determined by mentor and child’s family), access to a vehicle to transport the child, and participate in a screening process, (orientation, background check, references).
