Child or Youth Mentor

The Foster Family Coalition runs a volunteer mentorship program, where sensitive, committed, responsible, and caring volunteers are matched with child and youth mentees, similar to the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. We are always looking for new volunteer mentors to sign up to be matched with a child or youth. As a volunteer mentor, you have the chance to give something back to the community and make a positive impact in the lives of young people in your community. It also provides an opportunity to develop new skills or build on existing experience and knowledge.

Signing up as a volunteer mentor means you have to go through a full orientation process. We want to ensure our mentors receive training and feel confident to be mentors to a child or youth. We also want to ensure our mentees are safe and matched with caring mentors.
