What is a mentor?
A Friend
A Relentless Commitment
You are there for your student-match regardless of how he or she may occur to you.
A Coach
You listen for what your student-match is committed to and help them to see how their behavior is helping them or not helping them get what they want.
A Cheerleader
You consistently encourage and remind your student-match of his or her positive attributes.
An Advocate
You assist your student-match to access resources that might otherwise be unavailable to him or her.
A Mandatory Reporter
If you have reason to believe or are told by your student that your student (1) is being harmed by another person, or (2) is at risk of harming himself or herself; or (3) is threatening to harm someone else, then you are required to report the situation to your Program Manager or Program Director .

“It's
such a gift to be included in my student's life, having her call
just to chat and share what's going on. Her relationships have improved
dramatically over the last year with parents, teachers, peers and
me.”
- Christie, Mentor
“Recently
relocated to Seattle, my mentoring experience with CFY gave me the
immediate connection to my new community and provided me with so
many new contacts, resources, and friends in such a short time frame.
It’s been an amazing experience!”
- Gerardo, Mentor
“I've
gained a real sense of appreciation for the strength of these kids,
the unbelievable
obstacles they have overcome in their lives. These kids want to
succeed!”
- Sandy, Mentor
