Reach & Rise Mentor Application
Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor with the Reach & Rise mentoring program.  It is a great way to make a difference in a young person’s life. This application is designed to provide information to help us match you with the most appropriate child and your answers will be kept confidential.  For security & safety purposes, all mentor applicants will need background checks completed and cleared before being matched with a youth.  Also, a free 15-hour training in therapeutic mentoring methods and program policies/practices is provided in small, manageable chunks to prepare mentors for their work as volunteers within the program. If you have any questions, please contact the 1:1 Program Director, Elan Kesilman, at ekesilman@hsymca.org or the Group Program Director, Kim Terrazas, at kterrazas@hsymca.org.
