Opportunity Details

Youth Mentor

The Bridge's "Beyond the Bridge" program provides a mentoring opportunity for youth in our community ages 12-18 by matching the youth with caring adults who are interested in making positive impacts in the lives of the adolescents and teens.

The Bridge is currently looking for volunteer mentors to help us extend opportunities all youth who need us! As a mentor, you will be supporting youth from ages 12-18 with their goals to help them succeed. You will truly make a difference in someone's life. Mentors will be matched with a youth for 12-18 months and will meet with them for up to 2 hours per week. If the commitment to weekly mentoring is too much, join us for Thursday Teen Drop-In nights at the YMCA from 3-7pm where we will hang out, pal around, and provide guidance and support to youth who need us! Commitment is 2x/month for 2 hours/shift.

Mentors must be 21 years of age, must pass background checks and be willing to participate in a training program prior to mentoring the youth. Volunteers must have a desire to work with youth and an interest in mentoring.
