Mentor a Youth with a Disability
Partners for Youth with Disabilities, Brockton, Massachusetts, United States, 02411
We are looking for caring adults to serve as mentors for young people ages 6-24 with disabilities. Our goal in our one-to-one mentoring program, is to empower young people with disabilities to meet their full potential by matching them with a caring adult mentor, who serves as a role model and a friend. The relationship formed between the mentor and mentee has proven invaluable in improving the social and intellectual development and independence of youth and the experience is equally rewarding to the mentors! This volunteer opportunity is in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Club of the Metro South and matches will meet at the clubhouse.
