WHAT DOES A MENTOR DO?
We’re always needing dedicated men and women to serve as mentors. We often hear that kids want to be part of Heroes Academy, asking, “How can I get into this group?” To grow our program, we need more mentors. Could that be you?
See below for a list of our upcoming events that might interest you.
ADULT MENTORING OPPORTUNITIES
It’s not diffcult to qualify. Like most quality organizations, we run background checks and screen volunteers to make sure the fit is good and mentors approach this opportunity with the right motivations. For people looking to make a positive impact on individual lives, our community and world, we don’t believe you’ll find a better or more rewarding way.
We’re easy to work into your lives. We only ask for 12 hours a year. And think of what you get in return – the satisfaction of helping kids understand their value and to see the world in new, more positive ways.
- Provide guidance, motivation, emotional support and role modeling.
- Help explore life pathways, set goals and identify resources for kids.
- Dive into the deeper meaning of our lessons and how they apply to everyday life.
