Adopted adults are needed to serve as mentors to adopted young people. We are mostly looking for Internationally adopted adults to mentor adopted children from a like culture. Instill a feeling of self-esteem and affirm one's heritage through positive role modeling to the mentee. A one-year commitment is required. Required training sessions are held throughout the year.

We are currently trying to increase the size of this program because of number of adoptees needing a mentor, so we REALLY appreciate your valuable help.

Contact Volunteer Services to initiate the application and interview process and find out the next training date. Volunteer Services can be reached at at 651-646-7771, or via email at volunteer@chsfs.org
