From waymarkfoster.org/programs/1-1-mentorship ↗About this program
As a friend and role model, mentors provide support, guidance, and consistency—helping youth build resilience, grow in confidence, and develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive. This is a long-term commitment focused on creating relationships that transform lives.
Our 1:1 Mentorship program connects caring adults with children or teens they've met through Waymark camps or events, building consistent, trusted relationships that positively impact a young person's life.
Youth with a mentor gain confidence, develop resilience, and build essential social and emotional skills. Mentors provide stability, guidance, and encouragement, helping youth feel valued, supported, and equipped for their future.
This program is built for long-term impact. Mentors commit to walking alongside youth consistently, building trust and offering meaningful support over time. Because our youth have faced so much disruption and transition, mentorships begin with someone they already know, ensuring stability from the very start.
