Mentors connect with mentees once a week to empower them to stay in school and plan their future, all while raising a child. Training and resources will be provided to help build a relationship of trust and confidence that will last a lifetime.
Minimum age to mentor is 25. Mentors must be a resident of Palm Beach County, have a driver's license, pass a background check, and complete training. There is one training before being matched.
