Position: Volunteer: Looking For Mentors for LGBTQ Youth
LGBTQ+ children, youth, and families too often experience trauma due to bias, and discrimination, including within their family, in their communities, and from public systems designed to serve their needs.
But according to the Trevor Project, “LGBTQ youth who report having at least one accepting adult were 40% less likely to report a suicide attempt in the past year.”
So we are looking for mentors who will love, support, and fully accept vulnerable LGBTQ youth in their communities – having one caring, trusted adult can make all the difference in their lives.
Sign up today to be a mentor to an LGBTQ youth in the Bay Area!
This is an IN PERSON mentoring opportunity and you could be matched with a youth anywhere near Hayward, Oakland, Richmond, etc.
IN PERSON mentoring requires mentors to spend at least 2 hours a week.
