Share yourself: become a mentor!

Think back to some of the questions you had when you were a teenager approaching adulthood:

• What do I want to do with my life?
• Which careers are appealing to me?
• How does my future look?
• How will I take care of myself?
• What kind of education will I need to succeed?

These are tough questions for young people. Hopefully, you were lucky enough to have caring parents, friends, and other adults to help you find your way. YouthBuild Boston is looking for volunteers to serve as positive role models for young people, ages 16-18, many of whom have some significant obstacles in their way. Sometimes, a brief encounter, a gentle nudge, or a new perspective is all that lies between a young person and the path to success. No experience is necessary. To find out more, please call 617.445.8887.

As a YBB mentor, you can:

• Serve as a role model
• Help a young person develop skills
• Make an impact in someone’s life
• Share your knowledge and skill
• Strengthen local communities
• Learn something new about yourself
