TrueMentors Youth Programs

Now more than ever youth are in need of positive role models. TrueMentors exists to build self confidence and provide new experiences that support positive growth.

Mentoring is a ripple effect: one small influence can have an impact.

Community-Based Mentoring

Volunteers, ages 18 and older, are matched with Newaygo County youth, between the ages of 5 and 14, in a one-to-one mentoring relationship for a minimum of a one year commitment. Matches meet about four times each month and spend a minimum of eight hours each month together. Matches determine scheduling that works best for them to spend time together.
