Mentor

The number one resiliency factor in young people is their connection to adults. The more adults a student is personally connected with, the more they will be able to persevere through difficult seasons in their lives.

Description:

As a mentor, you will have the opportunity to develop a one–on–one relationship with a hurting student and be that adult connection for them.
Your role as a mentor can take on many facets: a guide, an encourager, a shoulder to cry on, a teacher, a role model, and so much more.
Your goal is to invest time into the student and walk with them through this confusing time of adolescence.
The mentoring relationship might be short–term as they go through a specific season or long–term as you develop a deep relationship with a student that lasts beyond their teenage years.

Talents/Abilities:

Able to share unconditional love with a student
Excel in one–on–one environments

Time Commitment:

Spend 2 hours a week with the student during a scheduled meeting time
Be available regularly via phone or email for that student to connect with (within certain boundaries, of course)
