We
need mentors for youth in foster care. Help
us make a difference in a child's life!
Here
is a request from a 16 year-old boy: a male
mentor, who can be supportive, give good advice,
good at sports, a good listener, and someone to
talk to. Can you be his mentor?
Do
you have a little extra time to give? He needs
you to encourage him to make good decisions!
This
is what this 16 year-old boy likes: reading,
drawing, skateboarding, riding/working on bikes,
and clothes shopping. He is open minded,
flexible, caring, considerate, kind, good with
animals, generous with elderly people. He also
enjoys golf, baseball, hanging out and
movies. His favorite treat is a homemade
blizzard.
You
can make a huge difference in a young man's
life, let's work together to help these
children. Click below for more information
on how to become a
mentor.

AFFEC
is looking for male role models willing to guide, direct
or teach a young boy from the foster care system.
We need help finding mentors, especially men, who are
willing to make a difference in a child's life.
Currently, we have several young boys that are in need
of a mentor (role model, friend).
Our
mentoring program plays an integral part in the lives of
the foster children we serve. The mentor is a consistent
companion to a child experiencing many ups and
downs in his or her life. It is our hope that we may
support all of the children we serve by providing them
with a friend they can rely on and look forward to
spending quality time with.
Do
you have just 10 hours a month to give to a child in
need? We need you to make a difference. Together we can
change one life at a
time.
Please
contact AFFEC at: 541.343.2856
