Become a Mentor

Become a Mentor

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Boys to Men Mentoring volunteer mentor.

Our Guiding Principles

Commitment
The Boys to Men method is to provide a group forum where the boys and men go around the room and discuss their problems and challenges. The mentors contribute by sharing the mistakes and poor choices they made as teenagers, and use their experience to help boys avoid making the same mistakes.

We currently have over 60 weekly group meetings at 33 schools and 2 open community locations throughout San Diego County. To be a mentor at one of our school partner locations, we ask for a minimum commitment of one hour a week for one school year.

In addition, we also offer opportunities for mentors to volunteer at our Adventure Mountain Weekend retreats.

All mentors are required to attend a mentor orientation and receive ongoing feedback and training from Boys to Men staff before and after the weekly group sessions.We encourage prospective mentors to visit a group and “kick the tires” before making a commitment. In order to schedule your first group meeting, please contact our Mentor Coordinator or call our office.
