Description

Program Description and Who We’re Seeking:

Our College-Bound Program aims to encourage youth to pursue post-secondary education while also emphasizing the development of essential life skills. Through mentorship within the program, we focus on cultivating individual connections, introducing innovative programming, and strengthening community ties. Currently, we are recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers to serve as mentors for six months as part of our mentor Cohort, "60 for Six."

Why Volunteer With Us?

Your involvement directly addresses the urgent need for mentorship, including in the College-Bound 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.
