Mentor
Mentor
Our mentoring program is designed to provide children with caring, supportive, and enriching adult relationships. As a mentor, you can spend your one-on-one time with your mentee on an activity of your and the child’s choosing. You could play music together, sketch, work on homework, or go for a walk and just talk. Every 1-2 hour weekly session will be a different opportunity to facilitate the growth and success of an Optimist youth.
We have volunteer opportunities available in:
Palmdale, Woodland Hills, Highland Park, and Mission Hills.
