If you are looking for a volunteer opportunity and a meaningful way to make a difference, Valley Youth House is in need of mentors!
Featured on WFMZ, our Mentoring programs serve adolescents who have involvement with the foster care system. We help them form mentoring relationships with caring adults who support them in improving their well-being and ability to create/maintain positive relationships. Mentoring is about sharing knowledge, time and resources through a healthy relationship. A mentor offers consistent, positive support and a strong foundation in a young person’s life. This is an opportunity for you to establish a permanent supportive connection with them!
