Mentor Training & Orientation Session (in person)

This one-to-one mentor program supports the educational, life and career goals of students in Palm Beach County. Female volunteer mentors are matched with girls in middle and high schools to provide guidance, inspiration and real-life experience in a trusting environment, with the goal of empowering young women to prevent absenteeism, develop coping mechanisms and become leaders of tomorrow.

Who is a mentor and what is the commitment?

A mentor is a professional, committed and caring woman who chooses to invest time with a young person, offering her support, guidance, and encouragement. Volunteers are required to invest a minimum of 4 hours per month for the duration of the school year. This investment of time can change a life by helping a teen build a solid foundation of values, establish goals, improve their academic and life skills, while developing their self-esteem, confidence and leadership skills.

Per the National Mentoring Partnership,

Young Adults Who Were At-Risk for Falling Off Track But Had a Mentor Are:

130% more likely to hold leadership positions
