Commit to building a long-term relationship with a foster child in need of a positive adult role model. Provide support and fun to a child who closely matches your interests, background, and personality. Mentoring can include tutoring, career exploration, life skills development, cultural or entertainment events. The ultimate goal is to enhance the child's physical, intellectual and social growth. Mentors must be willing to commit to a 9-month volunteer experience. Mentors are asked to meet with the child at least twice per month, for a total of 6-10 hours per month. All mentors receive training and ongoing support from paid agency staff to ensure the development of a healthy mentoring relationship.
