Mentoring

You have the opportunity to dramatically impact the lives of boys growing up without a father figure. Our mentors commit to a year of weekly, relational mentoring. These weekly meetings consist of going to a park, seeing a movie, going to an event, playing a sport, going out to eat, etc. The activity is not important, it is the time you spend together that will have the lasting impact. These weekly meetings build trust and allow our mentors to encourage, affirm, coach, and build the confidence of their youth. To become a mentor, you can click the button below. Our mentors are required to complete a Level 2 FBI fingerprint background check, go through a 4-week training (one day per week) in which we read and discuss a mentor training book, watch training videos, and have discussions. Once completed, you will be matched with a boy from our waiting list.

Life Skill classes

We provide a variety of life skills and educational, hands-on workshops for the boys and young men in our program. Each class is designed to teach a skill that we hope can turn into a hobby, passion, or even a career.

Previous classes we have hosted include:

» Job Interview Skills Class
» Handyman Class
» Budget Cooking Class 

» Young Eagles Day
» Self-Defense Class
» Community Service Day

Group Events

Group events are designed to bring our mentors, boys, and families together for a great experience. These events are strengthened and created so many bonds between mentors, between boys, and others. Each event may be something simple like a beach day or an incredible experience like going to an NFL game.

Previous group events we have hosted include:

» NFL Games
» Bon Fire
» Bowling Night

» Kayak Day
» Family Cookout
» Sports Day

VOLUNTEER WITH US

Ways you can volunteer without becoming a mentor are at special events or by teaching a life skill course you are passionate about.

Do you enjoy cooking, baking, nutrition, carpentry, or something else? We would love to set up life skill classes that would benefit the boys we are mentoring. Some of these boys could benefit from something like a simple cooking class. We know single mothers who have to leave their sons at home with older siblings while they work a 2nd job to make ends meet. How valuable would a simple cooking class be for a boy like this who could provide for his family through delicious meals? Whatever your skill or passion may be, we would be thrilled to connect with you!
