Being a mentor is one of the most important things you can do for a young person. It may not seem like much, but one hour a week can make a big difference in a student’s life. You can be a huge part of that!
Winning Futures, a Crain's Best-Managed Non Profit, operates school-based mentoring programs in Southeast Michigan. We partner with high schools in metro Detroit to facilitate innovative mentoring sessions where we engage youth through trusting relationships with mentors , energizing experiences, and unforgettable life lessons.
We are looking for volunteers for one hour per week from October to May to mentor a group of 3-4 students at a local high school. You can learn more and apply at https://winningfutures.org/volunteer/mentor/

Mission Statement
We help Metro Detroit students by providing the motivation, support, and skills needed to graduate from high school and become self-reliant adults.
Description
We help Metro Detroit students figure out what they’ll do after high school, then teach them the skills necessary for success. Career mentors are volunteers who coach our students as they navigate through the program. Sessions are held at a participating school, during regular school hours, and in a classroom with staff, teachers, students, and other career mentors present. Each session starts with a staff member who teaches a lesson. Then career mentors participate with students in a fun and structured activity that reinforces the lesson. Topics include career exploration, job and life skills development, academic and career planning, and goal setting. Sessions are held two or three times a month from November through May. Career mentors receive training before the program year starts and support before and during every session. 90 percent of our students are people of color. Participating schools are in Detroit, Harper Woods, Warren, Sterling Heights, and Pontiac. Get more information or apply online at Winning Futures.org.
