Are you looking for a way to give back to your community? Do you want to work with a young person who needs support, care, and a role model? Be A Mentor is partnering to support youth impacted by substance use disorder, etc and we are looking for caring, trusting adults in the East Bay to mentor, support, and advocate for them! This is an in-person mentoring program. This mentoring opportunity will begin with an 8 week cohort of mentors and mentees meeting together in Oakland or Hayward. During this time, mentors and mentees will get to know each other. At the end of the 8 weeks, you will be matched with one mentee for one calendar year. You'll spend at least one hour a week with your mentee in the community exploring, talking, and learning about and advocating for their needs. 1 on 1 mentoring gives students more opportunities for success regardless of their background. It’s especially important for youth who may not have consistent adults in their lives to connect with. All mentors are required to complete a background check and training. And our mentoring coordinator will be available for support throughout the program. We ask that you commit to at least 2-hours per week for a full calendar year. Consistency is important to build trust between you and your mentee. We have a strong need for BIPOC mentors to support and connect with our diverse mentees. Although we welcome everyone with an interest in mentoring to sign up!

Are you looking for a way to give back to your community? Do you want to work with a young person who needs support, care, and a role model? We need YOU to mentor a student experiencing foster care. Be A Mentor is partnering with Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE) to support youth in foster care. Since this program is through ACOE, the youth in the program are from Alameda County; however, are residing in the Modesto/Oakdale area, and need the support of a local mentor who can listen to and spend time with them while they are away from home. This is an in-person mentoring program. You will spend most of your time in the community with your mentee exploring, talking, and learning about their needs. 1 on 1 mentoring gives students more opportunities for success regardless of their background.
