BeCOME A MENTOR

Becoming a mentor with Boys to Men Mentoring begins by volunteering at a local school. Mentors are the foundation of our organization—without them, our program couldn’t thrive. 

Our mentors are men who care deeply about supporting boys and young men in our communities. A mentor commits to spending an hour per week with boys in a classroom setting, about a half hour per week preparing and debriefing the group experience and one hour per month on a group mentorship call with a Boys To Men Facilitator.

New volunteers must pass a preliminary screening, State and Federal background checks, a TB test and Mentor Orientation Training before working with youth. New mentors must complete Mentor/Facilitator Training One (MFT I) within six months of joining the team and Mentor/Facilitator Training Two (MFT II) is required to become a Lead Mentor or Program Facilitator (along with Mandated Reporter Training and CPR / First Aid Certification).
