Please let us know who we can thank for sharing this with you:

Life Skills Classes are monthly on the third Thursday Evenings from 7pm-9pm at 5215 Lorraine Rd Bradenton, FL 34211

Dinner is provided from 7-7:30pm with the class starting at 7:30pm. Mentors are asked to arrive by 6:30pm (unless transporting youth), and may need to stay as late as 9:30pm. While you are waiting to be matched we ask that you attend monthly life skills classes and social gatherings.

Are you interested in being matched with a youth as a one on one mentor? Please keep in mind, the matching process does take time and you may not be matched with a young person right away.

Yes

No, I prefer to be utilized for group mentoring

No, I would rather be a life skills teacher once a year

What are you hoping to gain from this mentoring experience?
