Family Service Agency’s Youth Mentoring provides mentoring programs for children. They provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally-supported, one-to-one relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
Community-Based:
Children ages 5–16 are matched with adult mentors over the age of 18. Mentors spend eight hours a month with their match, for a minimum of one year.
Lunch Buddies:
Elementary and middle school mentees are matched with adult mentors who are scheduled to visit their match during the child’s lunch period every other week during the course of the school year.
Along with the volunteer application, you will need to submit a copy of your driver’s license or government issued photo ID and proof of auto-insurance if you have a vehicle. All applications will be given equal consideration regardless of race, age, sex, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, religion or national origin.
To schedule an orientation to enroll a child or become a mentor yourself, please email Erin Tamms, Community Programs Directoretamms@fsadekalbcounty.org or call: 815-758-8616
