Volunteer Opportunity - Mentors Needed for Youth in RI

Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Volunteering as a mentor is a wonderful and rewarding experience for both you (the mentor) and a child in your community (the mentee). Mentors may decide what age group they wish to be matched with ranging from kindergarten through young adults. Volunteer mentors may choose to spend one hour a week with a youngster on school grounds, during school time, or they may spend more time through community-based programs like Big Brothers or Big Sisters.

All mentors must complete an application, undergo screening and participate in an interactive training session. References are necessary, as is a personal interview. Community based programs may require additional screening. Potential mentors attend a two hour workshop which focuses on policies and procedures, communication skills, activities and next steps. Additional (optional) training sessions based on mentor needs are offered throughout the year. Community based programs may require additional training.
