Description

Program Description and Who We’re Seeking:

Our Friendship Program is designed to foster social-emotional learning and the art of building relationships. Through mentorship within the program, our emphasis lies in nurturing personal connections, implementing inventive programming, and fortifying community bonds. Currently, we are recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers to serve as mentors for six months as part of our inaugural mentor Cohort, "60 for Six."

Why Volunteer With Us?

Your involvement directly addresses the urgent need for mentorship, including in the Friendship Program. Currently, there are over 60 youth eagerly awaiting mentors, and with your assistance, we could expand our services to reach many more.

How It Works:

Volunteers will receive mentor training and support before being matched and engaging with their mentee in meaningful cultural, educational, and social activities, facilitating personal and professional growth for the youth involved – all at no cost to the Volunteer.
