There are well over 1,000 kids waiting to be matched with a mentor through our program at this very moment. Our agency serves Marion, Hamilton, and Johnson counties, and we match within 20 minutes of where you live or work. That means the kids waiting are your neighbors, family, and fellow community members.
We ask our mentors to make a 1-year commitment up front. You must have accessible to reliable transportation, be over 19 years of age, and go through a background check. Once matched, you will see your little for 4 hours per month.
