AYW is currently looking for dedicated people to work as mentors with our YouthBuild members. Our YouthBuild mentors provide support to their mentees as they go through the YouthBuild program, as well as offer continued support to program graduates.

Mentors should possess a desire to have an impact on a young adult’s life. You will provide your mentee with interaction with people, places, and things outside their daily routine and environment. Previous experience is not required, as each mentor will receive initial and on-going training in communication, relationship building, and working with youth. At least once a week, mentors will commit to meet with their mentees for the next fifteen months. The mentees ages will range from 16-19.

Being a mentor within the YouthBuild community is a great opportunity to make a difference in the life of a young person! Your dedication and commitment over 15 months will have lasting effects upon the mentees.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or have any questions please contact
