Volunteer as a Mentor

Research shows that having a trusted adult in life can have a profound impact on a youth’s life. We are thrilled to have a 95% success rate for our program graduates in finding employment after our program, but we know that isn’t the end of the story. Pairing interns with a mentor can support them in not only finding employment, but maintaining employment, and in navigating the basics of becoming independent.

Your role would be to support a youth in their job search process and with job retention, as well as navigating basic life skills as needed. The commitment would entail a minimum of monthly in-person meetings for 1 year, with check-ins by text and phone as needed. All youth are based in or near the Pasadena area.

Sponsor an Intern

One of the biggest barriers our program currently has is having more youth desiring to participate in our program than we have funding for. For $3,000, a youth is able to receive a 3-6 month paid internship that allows them to receive hands-on experience while earning an income, and get started in their employment path. Funding their internship can be a turning point in a youth’s life. Contact us if you’d like to learn more.
