Mentorship Changes Everything

Become a Mentor
Our Mentoring Strategy

The impact of mentoring goes farther than you think.

Mentoring not only impacts the child being mentored, but their family, community, and our mentors. It’s a ripple effect for positive change, including:

  • Brighter future – Helping boost confidence and academic success can change the trajectory of a child’s future, impacting their future communities and families as well.
  • Stronger community – Churches, schools, and families working together and raising up the next generation
  • Unity in Christ – Individuals of different ages, culture,s and backgrounds build mutual understanding as they walk alongside each other.
  • Spiritual growth – a child’s spiritual growth develops strong roots that impact them well into the future, which can make a lasting impact for generations. Our mentors experience spiritual growth through serving families in our communities.

God was using me to impact the life of a child.

“I was a bit hesitant to become a mentor, but quickly became aware that God was using me to impact the life of a child and that He was using that child to impact mine.”

Mentoring FAQs

What are the qualifications for my child to become a mentee?

Three main qualifications:

How often would my child meet with a mentor?

Do I have to pay anything for my child to be mentored?

No. All of our mentoring through Mentor Connect is delivered at no cost to our families.

What kinds of things will my child do with their mentor?

The types of activities your child does with his or her mentor will vary according to your child’s interests, but can include anything from group meetings with other mentors and mentees, attending sports games, to getting ice cream, hiking, or working on homework together! As their relationship grows, mentors may also pursue more focused spiritual guidance through Bible study and intentional discipleship.
