Y Mentors Goal

Y Mentors Program

The program is design to give youth, the Mentee, a positive role model by matching them with an older person, the Mentor.

Y Mentors is a school-based mentoring program serving youth grades K-12, with caring volunteers. Each Mentor volunteer is matched with one youth, based on similar interests.

To enhance the mentoring experience, Y Mentors provides on-going support, YMCA sponsored events, YMCA resources, and community opportunities to foster long-term quality relationships.

Our mentors offer their friendship and guidance to build a healthy mind, body and spirit in their Mentee.  Find out if one is waiting for you!
