Serve Our Youth Network’s training process has changed and we are now offer a one-hour “Orientation to Mentoring” as the first step for those who are interested in mentoring. During this orientation those who attend will receive:
-
An overview of Serve Our Youth Network and our different opportunities for mentoring (Amachi, Mentoring Children of Promise, Informal Mentoring at Polk County Youth Services and Second Chance Juvenile Mentoring Initiative).
-
An overview of mentoring in general and its rewards and benefits.
-
Basic requirements for mentors and our application, screening and selection process.
There is no obligation to become a mentor if you attend, but this is a great way to learn more before you jump in.
Here are our orientation times and locations:
- Thursday, August 12th at 7:00-8:00p at Pleasant Hill Public Library (5151 Maple Dr. in Pleasant Hill)
- Friday, August 20th at 6:30-7:30a at Caribou Coffee (3220 Ingersoll Ave. in Des Moines)
- Wednesday, August 25th at 7:00-8:00a at Smokey Row (1910 Cottage Grove Ave. in Des Moines)
- Monday, August 30th at 7:00-8:00p at Panera Bread (4150 Westown Pkwy. in West Des Moines)
