Volunteer to be a Mentor!
LifeGuide is a mentoring program that offers individual's ages 16 to 21 years old a caring adult to give support and life-skills education as they transition to adulthood. The needs of the youth vary from budgeting and seeking employment to finding an apartment and cooking.
For this to be a successful program, we need community volunteers to work on a one-on-one basis with individuals. All youth referred are in need of a caring adult in their lives to serve as friends and mature role models. Qualities of caring, consistency and understanding are important and necessary characterisitics in all of our volunteers.
Volunteers will receive training from the Program Coordinator and learn the responsibilities of becoming a mentor to a young adult.
Make a difference in someone's life; become a volunteer
The LifeGuide program will begin in partnership with the New Hanover County Department of Social Services with the potential to develop into a stand-alone non-profit organization.
