| Mentors Matter! Give a little of your time, get a lot in return! MentorsMatter offers a variety of opportunities to share some time with one of the many at-risk youth living in Boulder County. We are dedicated to matching you with a program that fits your schedule and style. Think you're too busy? The volunteer opportunities vary from a few hours a week, to a few hours a month, so we can definitely find a program that works with your busy schedule. Mentoring does not require any specialized skills-just the ability to have fun with a child, ranging in age from 5-17. You will be matched either one-to-one, or in a group setting, with people that share the same interests. Either choose your own activities: hiking, sporting events, theater, picnic, ect, or attend activities held at the partner agencies. Training and ongoing support is provided. Contact MentorsMatter at 303-444-4904 or go to www.volunteerconnection.net/MentorsMatter for more information. Remember, it only takes a few hours a month to make a huge difference in the life of a child. |
