Mercy Housing is currently seeking dedicated volunteers to be a mentor for youth graduating from Leataata Floyd Elementary and moving into 7th grade. An adult mentor will work 1:1 to provide educational and emotional support and help a student adjust to new academic and social challenges. The mentorship program will run Tuesday afternoons from 4:00- 5:00pm in the Family Community Center.
The Leataata Floyd Student and Family Community Center (LFSFCC), a joint effort by Sacramento City Unified School District and Mercy Housing California, is committed to cultivating a safe and supportive environment that meets the physical, social, emotional, and behavioral needs of youth and families in Marina Vista, Alder Grove, and the surrounding neighborhood.
Please respond to this post if you are interested or have further questions.

About Mercy Housing California

Mission Statement
To create stable, vibrant and healthy communities by developing, financing and operating affordable, program-enriched housing for families, seniors and people with special needs who lack the economic resources to access quality, safe housing opportunities.
Description
Mercy Housing was founded in 1981 in response to the lack of stable, affordable housing for vulnerable populations. In working to fulfill our mission, Mercy Housing California has developed more than 154 affordable housing communities in 36 counties throughout California, providing 17,000+ homes and serving over 24,000 people in need.
Mercy's commitment to program-enriched housing distinguishes us from many other large scale affordable housing developers. Housing is foundational - everyone needs a home. But many people who have endured poverty and other challenges need an additional hand-up to create the lives they want for themselves and their families. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work with residents right in their homes and neighborhoods on issues like health and wellness, housing stability, financial security as well as provide a full range of enriching out-of-school time options for youth.
