The adults who receive our services are often experiencing the effects of living in poverty and deal with previously being incarcerated, being previously homeless, or come from other disadvantageous situations. Many of these people are struggling to jump through the hoops that governmental programs have put in place to make them prove they are worthy of help.
At Trusted Mentors we have a program that doesn’t force them to prove they are worthy; instead we accept them for who they are and look forward to helping them achieve who they can be. Here you will have the flexibility to work with these people by providing them with a voice of reason that is non-judgmental, empathetic, supportive, and objective. You will also be given training and support to help you succeed with the mentorship. Immediately, you will help reduce the amount of isolation that many of the adults feel. These powerful relationships help reduce homelessness rates in Indianapolis, future crimes, and parole violations. Please watch our short video to see the power of these relationships: https://vimeo.com/111005408
In addition by attending our events & fundraisers, you will network others just like you who share a passion to help others in need. What to do Next? Fill out a volunteer application to mentor and come to a training session. Training session dates and time are posted on our website at http://trustedmentors.org/training-calendar/. Also you may contact us at info@trustedmentors.org or call us at (317)985-5041 for more information.

Mission Statement
Trusted Mentors connects trained volunteer mentors with at risk adults to help more people stay housed and out of prison.
Description
Trusted Mentors connects trained, volunteer mentors with at risk adults to help more people stay housed and out of prison. We accomplish our mission by:
- Providing quality training to equip volunteers with the resources and techniques needed to be effective mentors;
- Matching adults referred by partnering agencies with trained mentors; and
- Fostering on-going mentoring relationships by supplying useful information, guidance, and positive activities.
Mentors come from all walks of life. Whether you are a business professional or formerly homeless, your knowledge and life experiences can help one of our mentees make the positive changes they desire for a more successful future.
We partner with multiple agencies throughout Indianapolis, but we don’t duplicate services. The agencies maintain the case management - and we do what we do best, provide the mentors. Referring agencies utilize Trusted Mentors because it is an effective and professional organization.
We mentor change - and it matters.CAUSE AREAS
