During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and to explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
Rogue Valley Mentoring lets young people know that they are not alone. A caring and compassionate ear shows them that they matter, that they are the experts of their own experience. The mentoring of youth builds inter-generational bridges, creating a much needed synergy enriching the lives of all involved. This work is especially important in light of additional strain on youth in our communities due to COVID-19 and the recent wildfires that destroyed thousands of homes and businesses in the Rogue Valley.
Research tells us that close relationships with caring, competent adults foster resiliency and mitigates the effects of childhood trauma. By providing emotional support to young people who need it the most, we encourage positive youth development. Mentored youth enter adulthood knowing their self-worth and ready to contribute to their communities.
