Are you looking for a way to give back to your community? Do you want to work with a young person who needs support, care, and a role model?

Be A Mentor is partnering to support youth impacted by substance misuse and we are looking for caring, trusting adults in the East Bay to mentor, support, and advocate for them!

This is an in-person mentoring program. This mentoring opportunity will begin with an 8 week cohort of mentors and mentees meeting together in Oakland or Hayward. During this time, mentors and mentees will get to know each other and at the end of the 8 weeks, you will be matched with one mentee for one calendar year. You'll spend at least two hours a week with your mentee in the community exploring, talking, learning about and advocating for their needs.

All mentors are required to complete a background check and training. Our mentoring coordinator will be available for support throughout the program. We ask that you commit to at least 2-hours per week for a full calendar year. Consistency is important to build trust between you and your mentee.

We have a strong need for BIPOC mentors to support and connect with our diverse mentees. Although we welcome everyone with an interest in mentoring to sign up!
