mentoring
Becoming a mentor is
a chance to connect, inspire, and grow. You don’t have to have it all figured out. Instead, commit to possibilities over perfection.
At the core of Our House is our Mentoring Program.
One-to-one mentoring matches are trained and screened volunteer mentors that are matched with Our House young adults. Mentors commit to a multi-year relationship with the youth and provide one-on-one guidance to leverage educational, employment, economic, housing, and community resources.
1:1 Mentoring
Our mentors are instrumental in fulfilling Our House’s goal of propelling youth to reach their full potential. By equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to function independently and contribute to society. They must possess a sincere desire to be personally involved with another person to help them achieve personal and career goals.
Mentors will develop supportive relationships with youth who have experienced foster care participating in the Our House programs and aid them through emotional support, social and recreational development. The mentor provides caring companionship to supplement the work of parents, teachers, counselors,
social workers, other social services and education professionals.
Each mentor will be provided with initial training before working with youth and ongoing support throughout the program. The average Mentor will put in approximately 6 to 12 hours each month in service to our youth. This commitment may come in larger or smaller doses, but the Mentor must be consistent. While mentors may serve longer than one year, the minimum expectation of any mentor is one year.
