Have you had a mentor who was instrumental in your life? Do you love diversity and working with kids? We are looking for you!
Global FC uses soccer as a vehicle for transformative impact, supporting under-served youth by providing resources, opportunities, and relationships towards a brighter future. Our mentoring approach is multi-faceted, and includes options for everyone - no matter where you are on your mentoring journey!
Childhood trauma increases the risk for seven out of ten of the leading causes of death in the United States . Research has shown that the consistent presence of a positive, caring adult in a youth’s life can reverse the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
While your role as a mentor holds the potential to positively impact the lives of young people, mentors often express the following benefits to their lives! Never mentored before? No problem! We provide free training, workshops, and ongoing resources!
Enriching one’s personal development - Enhancing one’s career - Escaping from negative feelings - Learning new skills and cultures
Relationships form organically! We will match you with a mentee by starting you out as a Team Mentor with a group of students. As you build connections, we will look to see who you naturally click with. We have over 80 students waiting to be matched with a mentor!
