ORGANIZATION: Be A Mentor, Inc.

Every youth has potential...
and as a young man or woman's Mentor, you can find that potential!

Major problems face the youth of today:

  • Drugs
  • Gang violence
  • Teen Pregnancy
  • Illiteracy and School Dropouts

Fifteen Million young people go to sleep every night without an adult that cares for them.

So What Is It That You Can Do?
Research has shown that common among youth that endure these problems is that they had an adult in their lives who cared enough to Inspire and give them confidence.

Can you think of...
...an adult that took care of you? Someone who listened to you and made an effort to show you that you did matter and were important?

Why Mentor?

  • Assist youth in making positive choices,
  • Explore careers and higher education,
  • Help improve youth's grades,
  • Assist youth's in setting goals for the future,
  • See new things and places, and have fun!
  • Be a positive role model and friend
  • Mentoring boys and girls is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the community

How does it work?

  • Mentors spend minimum of 8 hours per month together
  • Focus on schoolwork
  • Go to movies
  • Sporting events or museums
  • Simply talk and be a trusted friend
