Say Yes to Become a Mentor!
Serve our community and help empower the next generation.
We are recruiting committed role models to encourage our students, hold them accountable and guide them to achieve their goals. We are seeking mentors who are ready to "lift as they climb".
Mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunities. The objective of the mentorship component of the YES Program is to match the participant with someone that can help them to identify and achieve career goals and to identify and correct gaps in generic skills and knowledge. The hope is that long-term connections can be made to sustain the gains of participation in the YES program.
The minimum commitment for mentoring is the full duration of the six week program cohort and our hope is for a mentor to walk with a child for a lifetime.
It is important that we are thoughtful in the matches we make between a child and a volunteer who could potentially have a profound effect on the child’s life. Due to this, our potential mentor intake process is robust.
Say Yes to Become a Volunteer!
Your dedication and passion for our mission are crucial to the success of our program, and we couldn't be more grateful for your support. Your commitment to serve will make a significant impact in the lives of many young people, and we are honored to have you as part of our community.
