Mentor a Child or Teen Experiencing Homelessness at 6 Events Per Year
ORGANIZATION: For the Need Foundation
Please visit the new page to apply.

We refer to our mentors as 'Bows' and the children as 'Arrows' because, just as a bow guides an arrow to hit its target, so also our 'Bows' guide our 'Arrows' to hit their targets in life. We provide the foundation and curriculum of fun activities that foster connections between you and your mentee (Arrow) at our six camp-like themed days per year. We have lots of fun and would love for you to join our FTN family!

Description
FTN hosts the annual Christmas Party for the LA General Medical Center. However, our main programming is year-round. The Bow & Arrow Mentorship Program is an events-based program for children and their families who are experiencing homelessness and poverty. Each bi-monthly event is centered around one of our main pillars including Goal Setting, Friendship & Team Building, Mental & Emotional Health, Physical & Body Wellness, Financial Education/Job Preparedness, and Giving Back/Gratitude . We believe that with these priceless life skills and our community of trusted mentors, the children in our program can grow up confident, hopeful, secure, and prepared to conquer the challenges they face and to reach their unique potential.
