Centro Latino Americano

Mentoring Youth

Beginning in September, Centro will be offering mentoring to Latino youth through our new Latino Youth Mentoring Program. We will be matching at-risk Latino youth, ages 11 to 17 with adults older than 18, who self-identify as Latino. Mentors and mentees will be matched up based on shared interests skills, and gender. Our mentors will offer a minimum one hour per week of relationship building activities; will develop relationships with the youth's parents or guardians; and will offer culturally and linguistically appropriate support to the youth and their Latino families.

We are currently recruiting volunteers to mentor Latino youth.

Requirements to be a mentor include the following:

• Mentor self-identify as Latino
• One school year commitment
• Meeting with your youth at least one hour per week
• Spending at least 6 hours a month with your youth
• Attending Mentor Training- 2 hours
• Attending Child Abuse Training- 2 hours
• A required background check
