This is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of Alameda County Foster Youth looking for support, friendship and guidance.
The impact of a mentor far exceeds anything you could imagine! I am one of the Program Coordinators and I fostered 2 boys then adopted them. They both had a mentor and it was life changing for them to have a mentor in their lives that weren't getting paid. He poured into them and because of his investment they both were able to feel like they had someone that truly cared. He helped them make informed decisions and he had fun with them.
Be A Mentor, Inc. has been positively interacting with youth since its founding in 1992 and continues to connect youth with dedicated volunteer adults throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We provide a direct mentoring service to youth (such as those in foster care; with incarcerated parents; susceptible to gang participation, drug/alcohol abuse or teen parenting; homeless/in transition or academically struggling).

The Be A Mentor Program pairs caring adult volunteers from the community with youth in one-to-one relationships. Mentors give of their time to be a friend, answering questions, and providing guidance. Mentors come from a variety of backgrounds and occupations and volunteer their personal time to be a caring friend to a youth. They serve as a role model, advocate, and resource. The purpose of the mentoring relationship is to help youth develop their full potential, both in and outside of the classroom.
