Become a Mentor
Help build the next generation through your time, encouragement, and example.
The Village of Character is preparing mentorship opportunities for young people ages 7 to 17. We believe caring, dependable mentors can help youth grow in character, responsibility, leadership, respect, self-control, and community service.
What Mentors May Do
- Encourage positive decision-making, responsibility, and leadership.
- Share practical life skills through age-appropriate conversations and guided activities.
- Support group learning, service projects, and community involvement as opportunities develop.
- Model respect, kindness, reliability, and healthy boundaries.
What We Look For
We welcome interest from adults who care about young people, respect families from diverse backgrounds, communicate responsibly, and are willing to follow our child-safety policies and program guidance. Previous mentoring experience is helpful but not always required.
Safety Comes First
Before any role involving direct contact with children, prospective mentors will need to complete our screening and onboarding process, which may include an application, references, a background check, child-safety training, and agreement to supervision and conduct requirements. Mentorship placements will begin only when the program and safeguards are ready.
