Mentor A Child

Mentor a young adult and change a life. Through our mentorship program, the young adults aging out of foster care are teamed with a supportive community volunteer to help them transition into adulthood and independency. Serving as a mentor is about sharing time and knowledge and giving of yourself. Helping a child realize their potential will allow them to follow their dreams and have the insight in believing that THEY CAN DO IT!

Please join us at an upcoming Mentor Orientation Class.   To learn more or register for orientation, please contact,  Nancy Graham at (386) 238-4846.
