What is a Mentor?
A mentor is a volunteer who wants to work with young men to provide guidance and to support his mentee's transition into adulthood. Mentors are carefully screened and interviewed before being paired with a young man.
What is a Mentee?
A mentee is a motivated young man age6 to 17 who is ready to explore who he is and his community. This is a great opportunity for a young man to receive year-round support during the challenging teenage years. A mentee could be you!
