Mentoring
Join the Chaffee County Mentors Program to support the young people of our community. Facilitate purpose, self-worth, and discovery through one-on-one mentoring relationships with positive and trusted adults like yourself.
Cultivating Tomorrow's Leaders
The impact of a mentoring relationship for a young person is far-reaching and notably promotes leadership, volunteerism, and improved attendance at school, fostering the likelihood of becoming a mentor!
Mentors come from many backgrounds and life experiences and they find fulfillment in giving back to their communities by making a difference in the life of another.
Modeled after Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Chaffee County Mentors connects adult mentors with youth and serves as positive role models, supporters, and advocates.
Honestly, it’s hard for us to visualize a more noble pursuit. Being a mentor is an awesome responsibility and not surprisingly, we expect our mentors will have a genuine interest in young people, participate in pre-match screening and training, and commit to the program for at least one year.
Mentors and their mentees have the opportunity to participate in monthly group activities and other structured benefits throughout the Chaffee County area. In addition to mentors, volunteers are always needed to support group activities.
