Mentors are a major part of their mentee's life. They provide stability and a caring relationship for their mentees where they might not otherwise have a caring adult. They provide their kids with a something to be excited about and someone who is always looking out for their well being.
As you are considering becoming a mentor, be sure to watch our "Become a Mentor" video!
You will:
- Be a mentor to a child in Provo or Orem
- Be a guide, advocate, friend and role model
- Introduce your mentee to new and different environments
- Meet and socialize monthly with the other mentors at the monthly provided activity for you and your mentee
- Give an hour of time each week for one full year
- make a year commitment to mentor a youth (why?)
- meet 4 times per month (usually once each week) with the youth you mentor
*To become a mentor, you need to be at least 18 years of age and have a vehicle. You will need to be formally interviewed at a time which fits your schedule. At the time of the interview, you will have the opportunity to read the Volunteer Application Packet, and to ask any questions you might have. You will be required to complete a background check (simply for the safety of the youth) and attend some training prior to being matched with a child. Once the required paperwork has been completed, the process of matching you with a child will begin.
