Join us to become a Mentor for the 2024-2025 youth programming season! We currently have info sessions on 7/22 and 8/1, as well as a training on 8/10 - apply below if you're interested to learn more about what it's like to be a Mentor with us.
Four Corners team members dedicate time and a listening ear to offer hope to youth in crisis while helping them discover the pathway to becoming a thriving adult. Our mentors are a vital part of our team and this discovery process. Mentors spend an average of 3-5 hours each month with their mentees and are expected to walk the journey with each student for at least one year. As a mentor you may assist with career exploration, goal setting, or simply sharing your personal experiences from your life journey that are appropriate for the student. Each Mentor will work with a small group of same-gender Mentees over the course of the year, meeting at pre-determined intervals at one of our program locations (Marietta or Austell).
The mentor application process will include a background check, training, and personality assessment in order to make the best match possible for you and the student.

- Empower student to resolve current issues & develop coping strategies for the future
- Use clear communication and set appropriate boundaries to model a healthy relationship

We are restoring hope to youth in crisis by providing pathways to thriving adulthood.
