K-12 Mentors Needed

Save to Favorites

At Horizons for Youth, our mission is to transform children’s lives by providing targeted resources, rooted in education, in a trusting partnership with their families and communities.

Each of our programs and support services was developed through a responsive formula of listening to our students’ and families’ needs. Combined, our unique programs and services ensure that our students and families have the skills needed to succeed in the classroom and beyond.

Mentoring is the cornerstone of our organization. These volunteers, or Big Sibs, develop a one-on-one relationship with a child in our program.

Quality mentoring can have a drastic impact on a child’s life. By providing consistency and serving as a positive role model in students’ lives, research has shown that students paired with a mentor are 55% more likely to enroll in college. As a Big Sib at Horizons for Youth, you are a primary source of support for a student in our program and have the opportunity to develop a lasting relationship with the child and the entire family.

*Mentors are asked commit to a two-year contract once matched with a Little Sib, and have a requirement to maintain 2 touchpoints per month with their mentee.

**All Volunteers will be required to undergo a background check as a part of their onboarding process.
