Mentors - Youth 71Five Ministries

71Five MENTORS

Mentoring leads to God’s transforming hope one relationship at a time. With as little as 4 hours a month you can make a life-changing impact. Young people today struggle to develop trusting relationships. They search for answers and connections online but continue to become increasingly disconnected, discouraged, and directionless. 71Five Mentors are trained, responsible, caring, Christian adults who enjoy flexibility of schedule as they engage in trusting one-to-one relationships with young people ages 7 to 24 free of charge in both Jackson & Josephine County. This mentor relationship develops the mental, physical, social, and spiritual components of each young person’s life. You can participate in this opportunity to empower a young person to thrive individually and strengthen our community.
