Mentor a Child
These special relationships help the children in immeasurable ways. If you can commit to visiting a child on a regular basis (minimum two visits per month) and would like to help him or her by offering your friendship, support and encouragement – then mentoring may be for you! Mentors listen and are available to the children and help them learn to trust a caring adult, find renewed hope and grow in their own confidence and self esteem.
Prospective mentors will undergo a thorough interview and background check before receiving coaching about successfully mentoring a Canyon Acres child.
To inquire about mentoring a child, please call (714) 383-9323 or email Beth Bogan at b.bogan@canyonacres.org
