Anybody can be a mentor! All we require is that you be at least 18 years old and pass a background check. Mentors only need to participate 1 hour per week.
Youth who have a mentor are 55% more likely to enroll in college, 78% more likely to volunteer, and 130% more likely to hold a leadership position than their peers without. If you want to make a difference in a child's life, mentoring is the place to start!

Mission Statement
The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club is expanding its mentoring program with an emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) curriculum.

By promising a brighter future for the youth of our community, we’re healing lives and developing leaders for life. We help create a path to successful careers, which will lead to strong citizens who raise families without barriers, live hope-filled lives, and give back to their community.
