Our mentoring program is designed to match volunteers in the community with youth ages 11-18, who are on probation with the Kitsap County Juvenile and Family Court Services. We ask for a one year commitment but often the mentor and mentee opt to continue their match past that year. Volunteers are asked to spend an average of one hour per week with the youth, with at least one contact per week (when possible). Sometimes the contact can be through other means than face-to-face. Emailing, instant messaging, texting and phone calls are some ways to keep a mentoring relationship consistent. This commitment can make a big difference in the life of the mentored youth. Find out how you can be that difference and learn how the benefits extend far beyond the youth, by positively changing the life of the mentor.
