We are seeking mentors to encourage and support youth on our residential campus in Douglasville, as well as those we serve in our Atlanta community based programs.
Mentors provide young people with positive adult influences and help them overcome obstacles in their lives and make the right decisions.
Studies show that children who have just one consistent, caring adult in their lives:
- Are less likely to drop out of school
- Have fewer run-ins with the law
- Build better relationships with their own families
As a mentor, you will have the opportunity to:
- Support a young person through an ongoing one-on-one relationship
- Serve as a positive role model and friend
- Plan and participate in activities together
- Build self-esteem and motivation in a young person
- Set goals with your mentee and work toward accomplishing them
- Spend 4 to 6 hours per month one-on-one with mentee
As a mentor, you will receive:
- Initial training
- Ongoing support and mentor/mentee group activities
- Satisfaction of knowing that you are making a difference
- Complimentary tickets to community events when available
- Tax deductions for mileage and mentoring expenses

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.
