Mentors are caring individuals who, along with parents or guardians, provide young people with emotional support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and a constructive example in a structured and trusting relationship. However mentoring is not a one-size-fits-all program. Every young person who would benefit from a mentoring relationship has individual needs. Effective mentoring programs should offer enough flexibility to help meet each youth’s personal needs, and at the same time allow mentoring relationships to flourish within a safe, structured environment.
We are looking for people that have the following:- a strong commitment to our program’s mission;
- strong interpersonal skills and the ability to develop relationships with diverse community members, staff members, and youth;
- previous experience in youth development work;
- excellent written and oral communications skills;
- ability to resolve conflicts; and
- a degree in a field related to mentoring, such as education, psychology, social work, and counseling, or equivalent experience (optional).
