Mission Statement
The Montgomery County Office on Youth is seeking volunteers to serve as mentors for at risk youth in the community. The mentor will serve as a positive role model for the child. Mentors are required to spend approximately three hours a week with their mentee (often occurs on weekends) and are asked to commit to the program for a period of one year. There will be group activities held monthly for all mentors and mentees; in the past these group activities have included white water rafting, hiking, skiing, etc. Prospective mentors must attend a training session and interview prior to being matched with a child. Criminal background checks will be run.
