Hello!
We are looking for Male mentors who are able to be involved with our nonprofit!
Our mentoring program is our most beneficial and meaningful service opportunity. It provides an additional layer of support for our youth while they are in our care. With a commitment of 4-6 hours a month, our youth learn to build healthy relationships with our mentors for the duration of their time with us. One of the most effective parts of healing is having a support team in place and many of our kids have little to no family engagement. Mentors develop much needed bonds with our kids to encourage them, listen to them, and explore their dreams and goals. The time spent with their mentors helps expand our youth’s experience through volunteering, exploring nature, visiting a college, or simply having dinner in the park. It allows for our youth to have one-on-one time with a trusted adult who is focused on showing up for our youth and supporting them along their journey. Mentors are asked to complete an application, pass a background screening, and participate in a training before being paired with a mentee. Additional information, as well as the mentor application can be found by clicking here. If you have questions or just want to discuss this opportunity further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Ah’Lexis Daniel at ahlexis.daniel@youthvillages.org or Katrina Word at katrina.word@youthvillages.org.

Mission Statement
Youth Villages at Inner Harbour strives to help children and families live successfully.
Description
By coordinating unique therapeutic programs with classroom activities and wilderness experiences, we are able to help young people develop trust, build self-esteem and become receptive to the intensive psychiatric treatment they receive.
Our programs work. For many of our clients, Youth Villages at Inner Harbour is their last resort, yet after discharge, most of our patients are either back in school or gainfully employed, as evidenced by our ongoing surveys.
Youth Villages at Inner Harbour's residential treatment center provides much more than conventional treatment. It immerses young people in ground-breaking experiential, activity-based therapies that are offered in a natural setting. These therapies are designed to stimulate learning through a series of activities that progressively challenge a person's social, emotional, mental, and physical resources. Inner Harbour provides an ideal setting for its pioneering programs.
Youth Villages at Inner Harbour is the only residential treatment center in Georgia offering educational services which are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for over twenty-five years, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, and the Association of Experiential Education.
