Bright Future Foundation’s Buddy Mentors strives to inspire and foster youth through building consistent and trusting relationships with safe adults. Volunteer Buddy Mentors partner with Bright Future Foundation to commit to building a consistent, positive and supportive relationship with participating youth. Buddy Mentors ultimately strives for participating youth to show an increase in decision making skills, positive peer relationships, self esteem, school connectedness and adult bonding.

Position Description

As a trusted adult and mentor, which we refer to a Senior Buddy in the Buddy Mentors program, you will play a crucial role in providing guidance, support, and mentorship to a youth referred to as a Junior Buddy. Mentorship in this context refers to guiding a Junior Buddy to greater success by serving as a role model who offers encouragement and a space to be themselves. Your commitment will help foster positive relationships and personal growth in the youth you work with. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young individuals in your community.
