Mentoring Young Adults in the Community Garden
ORGANIZATION: Trusted Mentors
Please visit the new page to apply.
Do you have a knowledge of gardening? Trusted Mentors is now matching mentors with Groundworks Indy. At Trusted Mentors your service will help bring a new season of hope to a young adult (18-24) who may be justice involved, moving off the streets, or transitioning out of foster care. You can add your knowledge of gardening to the gift of mentorship to bring about a sense of renewal, hope, and a new vision of a brighter future. By doing so you’ll help reduce the chances of them going back to the street or being re-incarcerated. After training and being matched with a mentee, we ask that you foster a relationship with your mentee for a year, in which you communicate with this person for six hours each month. Meetings can be over coffee, at a garden, or at a Trusted Mentor’s sponsored activity. By joining our organization, you will meet people who are also committed to making Indianapolis a better community at our various fundraisers and events.

Mission Statement
Trusted Mentors connects trained volunteer mentors with at risk adults to help more people stay housed and out of prison.
Description
Trusted Mentors connects trained, volunteer mentors with at risk adults to help more people stay housed and out of prison. We accomplish our mission by:
- Providing quality training to equip volunteers with the resources and techniques needed to be effective mentors;
- Matching adults referred by partnering agencies with trained mentors; and
- Fostering on-going mentoring relationships by supplying useful information, guidance, and positive activities.
Mentors come from all walks of life. Whether you are a business professional or formerly homeless, your knowledge and life experiences can help one of our mentees make the positive changes they desire for a more successful future.
We partner with multiple agencies throughout Indianapolis, but we don’t duplicate services. The agencies maintain the case management - and we do what we do best, provide the mentors. Referring agencies utilize Trusted Mentors because it is an effective and professional organization.
We mentor change - and it matters.CAUSE AREAS
