Youth Mentors Needed
Mentor Connection is a non-sectarian
program that matches Oakland
County youth who might benefit from
extra encouragement and guidance
with caring adults who can provide
that support. The Jewish Family
Service-supported program is looking
for interested men and women to
become mentors. It also is expanding
its waiting list for youth ages 7-17.
Community-based mentors spend
time one-on-one with a child/teen,
four-six hours per month for one year.
The day and times are determined
based on the participant's schedules.
School-based mentors commit to
one hour after school, one day per
week for an academic year. Mentors
and youth spend part of their time
together focusing on academics, while
spending the rest of the hour on
extracurricular activities.
For information about Mentor
Connection, contact Katie Holden,
(248) 592-2317 or e-mail
kholden@jfsdetroit.org , or visit
www.mentorconnect.org .

(bridges), a group designed for those
