Mentor

The Mentoring Program with Youth Emergency Services creates a special opportunity for youth to develop a positive, sustained relationship with a trustworthy and influential adult.

As a mentor, we ask you to...

• be at least 21 years old
• have an approved application process which includes an application, background check, interview, and orientation, along with three references that have completed a phone and/or email questionnaire 
• commit to the program for at least 12 months
• make contact with your youth for at least four hours a month
• respect your youth's privacy and maintain confidentiality

If any of these items are not completed and/or approved, or the Mentoring Coordinator believes an applicant may not be the best fit for the program, YES has the right to deny any possible mentor. 

How to become a mentor:

YES is always in need of mentors that are committed to understanding the challenges our youth face each day. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, please contact Maren Larsen, Mentor and Volunteer Coordinator, mlarsen@yesomaha.org to begin the process.
