What you can do?

Mentors share knowledge of the real world, advice, and guidance to help build a youth's self-esteem that's necessary to strive for success.

How does it work?

• Mentoring opportunities at Richmond Police Activities League
• Youth and volunteer mentors are paired in matches for at least one year,
• Mentors and youth spend four to six hours per month together, outside school and work hours.
• Time spent together can be focused on schoolwork, going to movies, sporting events or museums, or simply talking and being a trusted friend.

The personal rewards for both the mentor and the mentee are endless.
