Mentor Children of Prisoners in San Francisco

Save to Favorites

Youth and children are in dire need of mentors for guidance and nurturing to help them succeed and stop the cycle of incarceration in their families.

Without a caring adult mentor and role model in their lives, these children are five times more likely to go to prison.

Why Mentor?

• Assist youth in making positive choices
• Explore careers and higher education
• Improve youth's grades
• Assist youth's 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

What can you do?

• Mentors connect with a deserving child to help them see their potential
• Mentor is a role model and friend
• Mentors take part in a community to raise the children where we each have a role

How does it work?

• Mentors spend minimum of 2 hours per week together for a year
• Focus on schoolwork
• Go to movies
• Sporting events or museums
• Simply talk and be a trusted friend
• Training and support is provided throughout the relationship

As a mentor, you have the opportunity to help a child see a whole new world and way of life.
