We are looking for volunteer mentors over the age of 18 years old. We have two programs we need help with. One program is the Foster Child Academic Mentor Program. We are looking for mentors to volunteer one hour per week working to help a foster youth with homework. You would be matched with a youth between 6yrs and 17yrs old in your area. You can let us know the grade levels you feel most comfortable working with before we match you.This requires a background check and at least 6 month commitment. The other program is our Foster youth Fundays we will host the events every other month. The Fundays will be hosted at different venues each time. You would be teamed up with a small group of foster youth to show around the venue, keep an eye on, and have fun with at the event. If either one of our mentor programs intrest you please contact us for more information. you have the chance to make a difference in the lives of Orange County's foster youth.
