4-H Mentoring is an organization designed to help at-risk youth and
their families. By being a mentor, you will be background checked and
trained to be a mentor to a youth of your same gender between the ages
of 10-14 years. To be a mentor, you must be at least 18 years old. We
ask that you contact your youth once a week at a time that is most
convenient for you. Letters and phone calls can count as your weekly
contact, however, we encourage you to actually meet with your youth each
week. We also ask our mentors to stay in the program for one year. It
has been proven that youth do better when their mentor is someone who
is consistent in their lives since there may be others in their lives
that are not.
4-H Mentoring provides 2 activities each month for you and your mentee
to attend. Recently we have been to Chef's Table, Alpine Slide, Soldier
Hollow for tubing, Color Me Mine, and many other fun activities at no
cost to you.
Available locations to mentor are in Lindon, Orem, Provo, and Spanish Fork.
