YMCA of Metropolitan Fort Worth
Reach &Rise® is a national YMCA program designed to build a better future for youth by helping them reach their full potential through the support of caring adults. Established to provide young people in our community with positive adult relationships, adult mentors are matched with youth in our community who they meet with once a week. Mentors serve as role models, friends, and confidants. Mentors are not meant to take the role of a parent or babysitter but to introduce their mentees to new activities to help them grow and learn about themselves and their community. Group Mentor Requirements: - 21+years old - Pass background check - Meet up to 1-3 hours each week, for 12-month commitment Complete 15 hour mentor training over topics: - Basics of youth mentoring - Theoretical approaches to mentoring - Stages of Youth Development - Mental Health Youth May Experience - Safety Issues - Policies& Procedures
Looking for dedicated individuals to join a program with purpose. The goal is to impact youth in our community by providing a responsible adult with drive and love for working with kids.

We understand life happens therefore mentors are free to step away from the program at any time. However, if you’re unable to commit to the full program, including weekly 2-hour meetings, regular check-ins, 15 hours of impactful training and showing up for your mentees, we kindly ask that you speak to the Program Director before volunteering. THANK YOU
