How matching works

Most mentors are matched 6 to 8 weeks after applying.

  1. 01

    Apply online

    Set aside about 15 minutes to tell us about yourself.

  2. 02

    We do the checks

    Criminal history, registry check, three references, and a driving record for community mentors. We pay for it.

  3. 03

    Meet with us

    An in-person conversation of about an hour about your interests, schedule, and the kind of young person you would click with.

  4. 04

    Train

    Three hours, either one Saturday morning or two weeknights.

  5. 05

    Meet your match

    We use what you, the young person, and their parent or guardian told us. Your match specialist makes the introduction with the parent there.

You will have a match specialist the whole way through.

They make the first introduction, check in monthly, and help you keep the relationship moving forward.
