The Supporting Our Leaders (SOL) Program's mission is to strengthen families and reduce youth violence by offering educational and cultural empowerment opportunities. The SOL Program seeks caring individuals to provide consistent mentorship in the lives of our youth. We ask for a minimum six month commitment for at least 4 hours per month. Mentors must pass a criminal background check, reference check, and if transporting youth, must have a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and have their car inspected for proper seat belt functioning. Mentors are not required to be bilingual. At this time, most SOL youth speak English, but many speak English as a second language and have monolingual Spanish-speaking parents. Mentors will receive mentor orientation, training and ongoing support from the SOL Program staff.

We need volunteers who are available at these times:  Evenings, Weekends

This volunteer opportunity is available to the following types of volunteers: Must be at least 5 years older than the mentee; 19+ years of age and can give at least 4 hours per month for a minimum of 6 months.
