Youth Mentor Program
One caring mentor can change a life—could that mentor be you?
Our Jacob’s Ladder program serves 50 students from Kindergarten through High School, many of whom come from single-parent homes or are being raised by a grandparent or great-grandparent. These students would love the opportunity to have an extra person in their corner—someone to pray for them, walk alongside them, offer encouragement, and help them set and achieve their goals.
If you’re interested in making a difference, complete the Mentor Application and we will get in touch with you soon.
