Mentoria

Change both your life and the life of a youth!

For just a few hours a month, you can make a difference in the life of a teenager or young adult.  Enjoy time together on a bike ride, teaching them how to cook, or exploring career options. These young adults have all been recommended by someone who knows them and who truly believes that they will benefit from sharing time with a positive adult role model. 

Tudo que nós precisamos é você!

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.

Mude sua vida e a de seu pupilo! A mentor recently told us…

“Você sabe o que meu pupilo me disse recentemente? Ela disse: 'Desde que te conheço, tornei-me mais corajosa ”.

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.
