Currently, over 30 Livingston County youth are waiting for mentors...HOPE (Helping One Person Excel)Youth Mentoring is a Livingston County program that matches trained adult mentors with 6-14 year old youth in a 1:1 relationship. Mentors offer their guidance, give support and spend time with their protege. The youth in the program are experiencing adjustment difficulties at home, school and/or the community. One youth writes, "My mentor means a lot to me because I've never had anyone take time out of their day just to be with me and I respect her for that." Volunteers are asked to share a minimum of 4 hours (bi-weekly) with their protege for a one-year period.

Volunteers must enjoy youth and have time in their lives to spend a minimum of 4 hours a month with their protege. Mentors are thoroughly screened and trained, and extensive background checks are performed before being the mentor is matched with a youth. Volunteers must possess a valid driver license, insurance and transportation. They must be at least 21 years of age. Volunteers must be positive role models.
