Why Volunteer as a Mentor?

Your role as a mentor is a catalyst for youth transformation. By sharing your journey and wisdom, you provide the critical guidance that helps our young participants navigate life's challenges, unlock their leadership potential, and envision a brighter future for themselves and their community.

Beyond the impact on youth, mentoring offers profound personal fulfillment. It’s an opportunity to strengthen your own leadership skills, connect with like-minded community members, and experience the deep satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a lasting difference in the lives of Jacksonville's next generation of leaders.

Become a Mentor

Help guide youth and share your life experiences in the Year Round Travelers Summer Youth Program Inc. Your journey can inspire theirs.

Mentor Responsibilities

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor with the Year Round Travelers Summer Youth Program. Mentors play an important role in supporting young people by offering guidance, encouragement, and positive role modeling.

Mentors help youth grow by being trusted role models, encouraging positive decisions, and helping them develop confidence, leadership skills, and life goals.

Mentors are asked to:

  • Meet with their assigned youth once or twice each month
  • Participate in positive one-on-one outings such as community events, educational activities, or recreational experiences
  • Serve as a positive role model and mentor
  • Provide encouragement, guidance, and support
  • Help youth build confidence, leadership, and life skills
  • Encourage positive decision-making and personal growth
  • Communicate respectfully with youth, parents, and program staff

Mentors do not need special experience — just a commitment to supporting and being a positive influence in a young person’s life.

Mentor Commitment

Mentors are asked to commit to meeting with their assigned youth at least once or twice per month and participating in occasional group program activities.

Even a few hours each month can make a lasting difference in a young person’s life.

Ready to Make a Difference?

Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor. Your guidance can change a young person's life. Please fill out the application form, and our staff will be in touch with you shortly to discuss next steps in our Summer Youth Program.
