We are seeking a female volunteer to mentor a 14-year-old female client from the Democratic Republic of Congo. This youth and her younger sister both had mentors, but her mentor moved out of the country and we are seeking a replacement. This youth’s English-speaking ability is excellent, although she struggles with reading and writing. She is in 5th grade at a local private school. This youth has a fun, energetic personality, although it may take her a few meetings to become comfortable with a new mentor. She and her sister live with their biological grandparents, but they could use additional supportive adults in their life. Although it is not necessary, we would prefer that applicants speak Swahili.
