Volunteer as a mentor with Rogue Valley Mentoring! National research shows that mentoring relationships thrive when adult mentors receive adequate support from program staff. As a mentor, you will always have someone you can turn to when you have a question or concern-or when you just want a listening ear. You will be invited to monthly mentor circles where you can give and receive support from other mentors. Mini-trainings will also be offered throughout the year to increase your knowledge base on topics relevant to youth mentoring.
