Why Mentoring?

You can help continue the outstanding work of Trusted Mentors.
Our mentors are changing lives. Last year, with the support of their mentors, 98% of the individuals we served remained housed and 92% met the requirements of the criminal justice system.


When you help a person stay housed or out of prison, public safety improves. People are then able contribute to our community in healthy ways, creating a more stable community.
But it’s more than just stability. Trusted Mentors helps individuals see their true worth and potential. Trusted Mentors helps create vibrant, healthier futures, changing the direction of not just one life, but an entire community and generation to come!

Mentorship allows a personal portal to a life likely different than yours, exposing you to life experience and diversity quite different than your own. An opportunity for a greater understanding and empathy, while giving back and building up our community from the inside. This relationship builds skills in active listening, engagement, managing differences in opinion, boundaries, and the necessity of self-care.

It is rare that a service can provide such differing benefits to both sides, but Trusted Mentors does.

In addition by attending our events & fundraisers, you will network others just like you who share a passion to help others in need.

Are you willing to support a neighbor in need?

Put forth your time with an individual in need with Trusted Mentors. Everyone signs up for a year at a time and you would be carefully matched with an adult. Each month you get to spend six hours with your mentee, remote or in person. For your convenience there are two information sessions each month, where you can find out more information about our services. Please look for more info at www.trustedmentors.org, and email us at info@trustedmentors.org to let us know which sessions you will be attending.

Mission Statement

Trusted Mentors connects trained volunteer mentors with at risk adults to help more people stay housed and out of prison.

Description

Trusted Mentors connects trained, volunteer mentors with at risk adults to help more people stay housed and out of prison. We accomplish our mission by:

  • Providing quality training to equip volunteers with the resources and techniques needed to be effective mentors;
  • Matching adults referred by partnering agencies with trained mentors; and
  • Fostering on-going mentoring relationships by supplying useful information, guidance, and positive activities.
Trusted Mentors is recognized as the leading provider of mentoring relationships that empower at-risk adults to remain housed and avoid incarceration.

Mentors come from all walks of life. Whether you are a business professional or formerly homeless, your knowledge and life experiences can help one of our mentees make the positive changes they desire for a more successful future.

We partner with multiple agencies throughout Indianapolis, but we don’t duplicate services. The agencies maintain the case management - and we do what we do best, provide the mentors. Referring agencies utilize Trusted Mentors because it is an effective and professional organization.

We mentor change - and it matters.
