Mentoring can enrich both the lives of the youth and the mentor.

Become a Mentor


Wondering if you would make a good mentor? If you can answer "yes" to the following questions, then you would be a great mentor!

  1. Are you a mature and reliable person 21 or older?
  2. Do you care about community, youth and encouraging positive decision making?
  3. Do you have 6 hours a month to build a relationship with a middle school youth?
  4. Do you have a car or have access to one regularly?
  5. Can you commit one year to a youth?
  6. Would you like to meet other like-minded adults?
  7. Are you ready to have fun?

We match about 4 times a year, and are always looking for new mentors! We welcome safe and responsible adults who are motivated to engage Portland youth. Become part of a dynamic community that is dedicated to changing lives through friendship and fun with a youth in need.

Our Outreach Coordinator, Elaine Monterastelli, will be happy answer any other questions. Contact her at mentor@boysandgirlsaid.org or 503-542-2312.
