Volunteer to mentor a Youth in Foster Care in Cumming, Forsyth County

Atlanta Angels believes that not everyone is called to foster or adopt, but everyone can make a difference in a child's life. One way you can make an impact is through our Dare to Dream program. The Dare to Dream program focuses on one-on-one mentoring for youth (ages 11-22) who are in foster care, at-risk to age out, or have aged-out. Mentors serve as positive role models who meet with their youth to build relationships and empower them to accomplish their goals. As a mentor, you will have the opportunity to provide youth who are in or have aged out of care with the one-on-one support they need to feel safe, capable, and loved.

This program requires a one-year commitment, with meetings at least twice a month with your mentee.

We are currently seeking specific mentors to be matched with youth on our waitlist! We are specifically looking for volunteers in or around the Cumming area.

This youth is 19 y/o and is extraordinarily mature, brave and kind. She's very goal-oriented, with goals ranging from losing weight to getting a car to living in her own apartment. She loves Broad City, smoothies and burritos, Rihanna, and going to the mall. She's currently living in a DV shelter and is hoping to transition to independent living soon. She currently has a mentor in our program but the mentor's work schedule has ticked up, so we're looking for an additional support who can provide consistency for this youth. She's love a mentor who's good in conversation, not "too old" but experienced in life, and someone who can relate to some of her struggles.

The first step in the volunteer process is to attend a virtual Discovery Session. You can learn more or sign up here. If you have any questions, you can email [email protected] or visit our website.
