Mentors - Stick around when times are tough for at-risk adults

The people we serve have gone through their share of tough times. When it matters the most, mentors often help get them through that difficult time with a eagerness to listen, compassion, and support. Our volunteers mentors are guided with training and the expertise of the Trusted Mentors Staff, which help the relationships in which you will be setup become more of a success.

Mentorship allows a personal portal to a life likely different than yours, exposing you to life experience and diversity quite different than your own. An opportunity for a greater understanding and empathy, while giving back and building up our community from the inside. This relationship builds skills in active listening, engagement, managing differences in opinion, boundaries, and the necessity of self-care.

It is rare that a service can provide such differing benefits to both sides, but Trusted Mentors does.

In addition to the gratification that you will get by serving another person in need, there are fun events which you will be able to attend, and like minded people with which you can network. For more information about Trusted Mentors please watch this video: https://vimeo.com/111005408.

Mentors will be asked to serve for a year, and meet with their mentee six hours a month. We divide training into two sessions, which can be found on our website.
