YouthFriends is a school-based mentoring effort that links caring adult volunteers from the community with students in schools and is open to all students, grades K-12, within participating school districts. All activities take place on school grounds before, during or after school hours. YouthFriends volunteers typically visit a school for one hour each week to do things like have lunch with a student, help with reading or academic tutoring, share an interest or a hobby or simply listen.
Mentor
Become an adult role model for a child by sharing a variety or activities, such as hobbies, school work, playing games, or just talking. A mentor helps build the self-confidence students need to be successful in school.
Reading Pal
Help students K-3 develop better reading skills. (A one-hour supplemental training session is available for volunteers who have not previously read with a child or who need some helpful suggestions on how to motivate a child to read.)
Academic Tutor
Choose your favorite subject -- math, reading, language arts, or social studies -- and work with a student who needs extra attention in that area.
Special Project Friend
If we haven't listed an activity that appeals to you, let us know. We will be glad to design something that suits your desire to be a mentor to a young person. You choose the time and day of the week that fits your schedule and we'll select the student that can most benefit from your experience.
