We are seeking a male, Spanish-speaking volunteer to mentor a 14-year-old refugee youth from Honduras. This youth arrived into Bethany's program in June of 2019 along with his cousin. They have been together in their current foster home since October of 2019, and he is a 7th grader at a local public school. His case manager shared, "He enjoys fishing and eating out at the Chinese buffets. He loves Spanish music and likes to listen to it very loud. He dislikes being asked personal questions when he does not know you. He is very smart and knows more English that he portrays. He is very funny and is always joking around."
Background: This youth was abandoned by both of his parents at a young age, and he was raised by his maternal grandparents. He fled Honduras after experiencing long-lasting physical abuse by both of his grandparents.
