Mentor a Youth with a Disabilities

We are looking for caring adults to serve as mentors for young people ages 12-24 with disabilities. Our goal in our one-to-one mentoring program, is to empower young people with disabilities to meet their full potential by matching them with a caring adult mentor, who serves as a role model and a friend. The relationship formed between the mentor and mentee has proven invaluable in improving the social and intellectual development and independence of youth and the experience is equally rewarding to the mentors! This volunteer opportunity is looking for mentors based in the Concord, Lexington, Littleton areas to pair with our youth who are locally in the area.

Summary:

• One-to-one mentoring between adults (18 yrs old and up) and young people (12-24 yrs old) with disabilities
• Volunteers must live in Massachusetts and be able to travel to meet their mentee (locally matched, and within the areas of Concord, Littleton, Lexington, etc.)
• Volunteers must be able to commit to a year long mentorship
• Volunteers are expected to spend 4-6 hours of engagement a month with their mentee, in-person
