Be the One Mentor Program

Be the One, our life-changing mentoring program, is designed to help create a sense of belonging for our youth. We encourage mentors to share their knowledge, specialties, and caring hearts. Mentors are incredibly important for our youth that have aged out of foster care. It takes as little as an hour a week to have this kind of life-changing impact for a young adult.
