Young Men of Distinction

Mentor

Mentors are the heart of our programs. By meeting with a student at least once a month during the school year, you help a young person build confidence, set goals, and prepare for the future.

What we ask of mentors

  • Meet with your mentee at least once a month during the school year
  • Be a consistent, positive role model
  • Complete a background check (including fingerprints)
  • Provide three character references

What the application covers

The mentor application asks about your background, education, motivation for mentoring, and availability, and collects three character references and your signature. It takes about 15–20 minutes.
