Be A Mentor Program for Foster Care Youth

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Be A Mentor, Inc.

Right now, the Be A Mentor Program for Foster Care Youth throughout Alameda County has dozens of kids living in foster homes or with other than parents who are seeking a mentor--someone that they can talk to, spend time with, and look up to. Someone who will say, "I believe in YOU!"

The time spent can be focused on school work, exploring higher education and careers, going to movies, sporting events or museums, or simply talking and being a friend. You are only asked to spend 4 to 6 hours per month together. The commitment is for at least one year, but the personal rewards for both the mentor and the youth are endless.
