Mentors in our community don’t need fancy titles—they need heart, commitment, and a willingness to grow alongside youth. Here’s what we look for: 

Core Qualifications

• Consistent Commitment: 

Able to meet monthly and stay engaged throughout the program cycle.

• Strong Communication:

 Listens actively, speaks with kindness, and adapts to different personalities.

• Respect for Diversity:

Honors cultural, generational, and lived differences with humility and care.

• Growth Mindset:

 Open to learning, feedback, and evolving through training and shared experiences.

• Safe & Supportive Presence:

 Creates a space where youth feel seen, heard, and valued.

Preferred (but not required)

• Experience with youth, caregiving, teaching, or community service

• Familiarity with trauma-informed or healing-centered approaches

• Background in faith, education, trades, or life coaching

• Lived experience navigating challenges—housing, disability, caregiving, etc.

We believe mentorship is a two-way street. If you’re ready to show up with love and consistency, you’re qualified to make a difference.

A mentor must be committed to spending time with a child.
