Becoming a mentor to a newcomer in the city is being a guidepost and navigator in the American culture while maintaining and celebrating a young person's home culture. We serve youth ages 15-24 and support them in social/civic connectivity and educational/vocational advancement. There are many interactions and behind-the-scenes roles to play as we help young newcomers in Kansas City connect and thrive well in our community. Reach out today to find out how you can jump into this life-giving work.
