    Mentors Needed!

    You don’t need to be a hero or a trained counselor. Spectrum mentors spend time doing activities and setting goals with a young person between the ages of 12 and 22 who needs a positive adult role model.

    Spectrum Mentors and Mentees are matched based on shared interests and meet at least twice a month. We have a particular need for male mentors of color, and LGBTQ+ identified mentors. Click here to learn more about Spectrum’s Mentoring Program.

    Change both your life and the life of a youth!
