Change Lives! Mentor at-risk Youth in Person!
Details
Description
BE A MENTOR!
89% of LATM youth come from homes where neither parent has graduated college, and 29% don't live with a high school graduate. As a mentor, you can help our kids dream big, believe in themselves, and achieve a brighter future by volunteering twice a week!
You can make a difference in the lives of deserving at-risk youth in Los Angeles! Volunteer with our team mentoring program, and work with students in a fun, relaxed, supportive environment.
As a volunteer mentor with LATM, you'll be matched with 2-3 other adult mentors, and together you will work as a mentor team. Your mentor team will be matched with a group of 12-15 underserved middle school youth.
Each week, teams of students and mentors will participate in different activities, games, and projects with the guidance and support of the LATM staff. Through these team-building activities, you and your co-mentors will help the students on your team gain important life skills like teamwork, leadership, and communication. You will have the opportunity to share your life experiences with your mentees and serve as a positive role model and friend to them.
Mentoring with LATM is an amazing opportunity to impact the lives of 12-15 deserving kids, with the support of other volunteers and staff members in a safe after-school environment.
Two hours a week can inspire a lifetime of change!
