    Mentor a Youth

    Our Amplified Mentoring Program connects young people ages 10 through 17 with a one-to-one volunteer mentor—with you. When youth know someone cares about them and recognizes their contributions, they are more likely to develop their skills, make healthy choices, and achieve self-sufficiency. Mentors must be at least 21 years old and willing to meet with a mentee for at least 6 to 8 hours a month for 9 months.*
