Refugee Services of Texas, Inc. (Austin)
The Youth Mentoring Program is focused on meeting the unique needs of youth ages 15-24 as they adapt to life in a new country. This includes gaining deeper insight into American culture, exploring and engaging with their new community, and achieving self-sufficiency. Mentors are paired with a mentee for 6 months and meet for a minimum of 8 hours per month to work on goals together.
The mentee sets their own goals based on their individual needs, and can utilize their mentor for educational support, career guidance, cultural learning, language practice, and friendship. Their mentors will receive personal fulfillment through helping someone mature, progress, and achieve goals, introduction to different world views and cultures, and deeper understanding of young adult and societal problems.
*WE CURRENTLY ONLY HAVE OPENINGS FOR MALE MENTORS*
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
