We need volunteers to mentor youth in our Transitional Living Program.

Helping at-risk youth can be a very rewarding experience. Mentors play a significant role in the lives of our youth in their journey to self-sufficiency and independence.

Mentors help youth develop the skills they need to live independently, and they provide guidance and connection with a caring, reliable adult. Mentors are part of the network of support that is crucial to our youth’s success.
