Volunteers offer friendship, support and guidance.and provide encouragement, inspiration and love.
The mentor commits to spending a minimum of three hours per week with the child and attending a monthly social at the center which all mentors and mentees attend. Mentors are asked to make a one year commitment. We are especially interested in students of color and bilingual students, but all are welcome. Come enrich and empower a young person and gain valuable experience and units.
