Project Re-Connect is a non-profit counseling program established in 1991 to assist “high-risk” ages 12-18 years of age who are referred by the Juvenile Justice System.  The primary goal of Project Re-Connect is to facilitate the positive functioning of the youth in their home, school, and society.  This program addresses the needs of parents and children in developing strategies that prepare them for making positive life changes, and to divert these youth from future involvement with the Juvenile Justice System.

Our mentor program is designed for the adult who's ready to help our youth become great citizens.  We provide the best support and training for our mentors, and have an incredible experienced management team. The youth that you will be mentoring are males and females between the ages of 14- 17, mostly from the Eastbay. The youth are successful graduates of Project Re-Connect’s eight-week family counseling program.  They have been taught skills to handle some of life’s challenges as they work to achieve their personal goals.  Your role as Mentor will be to help our youth stay on the right path. 

We are dedicated to ensuring that you have a great experience as a mentor. The time required will be a minimum of 1 hour a week (4 hours a month) face to face.  In an effort to support our mentoring program, Project Re-Connect will sponsor a fun activity for program participants once a month. 
 
Being a mentor is one of the most rewarding contributions we adults can make.  Thank you in advance for choosing to work with Project Re-connect.
