MENTORS The mentors are caring adults who have a sincere passion to volunteer time to establish nurturing relationships with youngsters in need of guidance. Our mentors come from all ethnic, occupational, economic and educational backgrounds. What they all have in common is a concern for young people and the ability to relate to them effectively. What we look for in prospective volunteers are personal characteristics rather than professional credentials. We require that mentors be stable, responsible, mature individuals who have the patience, humor and flexibility to spend time consistently with a child for at least one year.
A mentors’ assignment is a serious undertaking and requires a very special kind of person. We know that personal involvement is the most effective way to bring about change in a child’s life. Allen Mentoring looks for men and women who are prepared to undertake the responsibility of helping to make an important difference in a child’s future. Our program offers you tremendous rewards and satisfaction. Download Mentor Application. |
