The program seeks volunteer mentor teams of 2-5 people to offer advice, resources, and support to help families in need to achieve their goals. Volunteer teams, alternate weekly contact with the family to which they are matched, either by phone or in person. The time commitment is for one year (with a six month check in), and averages an hour every other week per person. Volunteers receive initial training and ongoing monthly support. The training provided includes: strength based assessments, active listening skills, healthy and unhealthy boundaries, and conflict resolution.
Form a mentor team from your church members, with friends, family or neighbors, or help coordinate the recruitment of a team. Invite Associated Ministries staff to speak at your church or organization, circulate information in your newsletter, make an announcement during service, post a flyer on the bulletin board, and speak to your friends, family members, co-workers, and neighbors about becoming a mentor for a family in need. Volunteers are welcome to apply as individuals or in teams.
