Mentoring Spotlight: the YMCA

ymca

 

Mentoring is an easy way to make a real difference in the life of a child. This month, we are spotlighting various mentoring organizations in order to encourage everyone to share their knowledge and love to instill Dignity & Respect in the next generation.

This month, in honor of Mentoring Month, YMCAs across the country are recruiting for their Building Futures Mentoring Program.

Our Building Futures Mentoring Program is one of our most rewarding services, and we are always in need of trained mentor volunteers.


We have so many great kids, ages 6 to 18 in your community, who are at risk due to low self-esteem, social isolation, family problems, etc.,—who just need a friend, a role model, a hero. A person who can spend a little time sharing interests, listening and ultimately raising a child’s self-confidence and outlook on life. You would be amazed at what an afternoon at the ball game or a trip to the park can do for a child in need of adult companionship and guidance.
