About this Opportunity
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 Stone Mountain area for youth number #170.
This youth is a vibrant, outgoing, and kind 5th grader. She has seen her sister connect with a mentor in our programs and is eager to have a mentor for herself! She is very social and shared enjoying recess, lunch, PE, and music in school. She excels academically with As and Bs. She is into fashion and loves all things pink. Her dreams are to become an interior designer. In her free time, she enjoys doing hair, playing outside, watching her favorite shows (Black-ish and The Proud Family), and spending time at the pool or on the trampoline. Her proudest moment is of winning a special award for public speaking. This youth is seeking a mentor who is naturally talkative, in their 20-30s and willing to build rapport, encourage her goals and continued academic success, and take her out on fun outings in the community.
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, please email [email protected] or visit our website.
