Description

African-American men and women are needed to be volunteer mentors to youth in Oakland and San Francisco.

What do you do?

  • Mentors share life experiences,
  • Help the youth make positive choices,
  • Go see knew places and things,
  • Explore careers and higher education,
  • Set goals for the future, and have fun!

How does it work?

  • Youth and volunteers are paired in same gender matches for at least one year,
  • They spend four to six hours per month together, outside school and work hours.
  • Time spent together can be focused on schoolwork, going to movies, sporting events or museums, or simply talking and being a trusted friend.

Without YOU, a youth will have less of a chance to succeed.
