Become A Mentor - Overview of Our Volunteering Programs

Be A Mentor, Inc. offers volunteers the opportunity to support a youth through two types of mentoring – Face-to-Face and Email.

All mentor applicants must be at least 21 years old, complete an application and undergo a rigorous screening, clearance, training and interviewing process before being matched.

Face-to-Face Mentoring connects each volunteer to one of the youth in the program. After completing the screening process, the mentor is matched with a youth in her/his own community. Mentors agree to spend at least 1-2 hours per week for at least one year with the youth in a manner and style amenable to both. Activities may include hiking, visiting a museum or other point of interest, cooking, playing basketball, performing community service, or simply having lunch or coffee to chat. While all mentoring takes place outside of school, mentors frequently attend school activities and functions to support their mentees.

Email Mentoring connects professionals with students working on specific school projects via email. n this scholastic success program, volunteer adults in the professional world are electronically matched with academically challenged students. Through email interactions, the email mentor provides experienced academic advice and guidance on a particular school project, as well as scholastic, educational, personal and emotional support. Mentors agree to spend approximately ½ hour per week for the duration of the specific project.
