Opportunities From: VolunteerSLO.org

We are seeking volunteer mentors to be matched with a child or youth in the community. The commitment is just 6 hours a month for at least one year and involves forming a meaningful relationship with a child or youth in your region who is facing adversity and whose parent/guardian has requested support. Mentors and children are strategically matched and professionally supported throughout the length of their relationship.

You can choose which age group you're interested in mentoring and provide us with all the details of your perfect match. Like hiking? Enjoy art projects? Play music? We'll find your ideal match. 

It takes a while to be matched - you'll go through a process of interviews and background checks - but it's worth the wait. Volunteer mentors in our programs get as much out of the process as our mentees do. 

One-to-one mentor relationships change children's lives for the better, forever!
