The Boys & Girls Club Compass Mentoring Program links a young person (K-8th Grade) with a caring, adult mentor. Any community member who supports the mission of the Boys & Girls Club can get involved in youth development in this personal way. Just as a Boys & Girls Club staff member’s one-to-one work with each boy or girl is the key ingredient to deepening impact, a volunteer mentor’s personal attention and guidance can truly open new doors of hope and opportunity for the mentee. Mentors must make a one-year commitment to meet with their mentee at least once a week for 1-2 hours.
