Ottumwa
Serve Our Youth has recently expanded into the Ottumwa area. Learn how you can be part of our Amachi mentoring team and help “bridge” the gap with the youth of Ottumwa, in the “city of bridges”!
Our mentoring program works with youth ages 4-18 and we offer continued support during the duration of the match. We ask for a one year commitment of an hour each week for you to invest in the life of an Ottumwa youth.
The wonderful thing about mentoring is that you are already equipped to be a great mentor. You bring to the table something unique that these kids do not have in their lives… the ability to be their friend. Every child can take away something positive just by being with you.
In life we are provided few situations in which you are rewarded just by walking into a room. Mentoring is one of those situations. Our experience has shown time and time again that your presence – just being you- has a powerful, lifelong positive impact on a child. A child’s life improves the moment you demonstrate a willingness to care.
For more information about our mentoring program, contact Tracey Menninga at (641) 780-3373 or by sending her an email using the form below. If you are interested in applying to be a volunteer you can download an application here and email it or mail it to our main office in Pella.
