A mentor is a caring adult who is a role model and guides a young person through life's challenges. A sense of connection is a powerful factor that encourages good social skills, responsible values, and a positive identity. There are no specific life experiences required of mentors; we ask that the mentor be a good listener, reliable, patient, flexible and accepting of differences. Mentor orientations will be held quarterly to provide more detailed information on the mentor program. Please see the calendar for the next scheduled date. How do I become a Mentor If you are interested in becoming a mentor, you must: *Be 21 years of age or older *Be an insured, safe driver *Obtain DOJ fingerprint clearance *Commit to a one year relationship with a teen. *Meet with a teen two times per month and connect weekly by phone/e-mail *Attend one outing per quarter organized by Peace4Kids to create a connection between the various mentors and mentees. *Be genuinely interested in teens and open to learning Training Training is accomplished via one mentor training session and additional meetings quarterly throughout the year to help the mentor feel prepared and supported. Once a mentor completes the training, a matching meeting is arranged, usually on a weekday in the evening. The meeting allows a mentor to meet with his/her mentee and the mentee's parents and/or other family members and also provides additional information to all parties regarding the program, everyone's roles and commitments. If you meet these qualifications, can fulfill the obligations, and are interested in becoming a mentor, please email michelle@peace4Kids.org.
