Get Started
How Do I Become a Mentor? It's Easy!
First, you will be asked to complete an application, and then we will call you to set up an interview.
Following the interview, your application and interview will be evaluated. If everything looks good, we will register you for a statewide criminal record check. A Motor Vehicle Record from the DMV is also required. Several other forms such as a liability waiver must be signed.
As you would guess, the screening process for anyone working with children is thorough. The safety of our mentees is paramount.
If you have passed all of the necessary record checks, the next step is training. This mandatory training session will cover the important aspects of mentoring from that "icebreaker" on the first day to planning to a list of activities for you and your mentee. It's a great way to learn about the program and meet the other mentors.
We will have a special "Mentor-Mentee Activity" where all of the mentors will meet that boy or girl who was matched with them. You will also meet the parent or guardian of your mentee and learn more about their family life.
You will be meeting with your mentee for two hours each week during the next year. It''s just the start of sharing memorable times together. Just remember: We will be supporting you each week along the way, assuring that you and your mentee get the encouragement and guidance that you need.
That's the bottom line!
