Opportunity Details

Valley Youth House Mentoring (Montgomery County & Lehigh Valley)

Valley Youth House Mentoring Program is interested in connecting with individuals in the Lehigh Valley and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania areas who possess a strong passion for working with youth in the role of a MENTOR. The Valley Youth House mentoring program serves youth ages 10-21 that have involvement with the foster care system. Each year in the United States, there are over 500,00 children placed in the foster care system. These adolescents need to develop a healthy, trusting relationship with an adult who helps them learn skills and prepare for their future. Our goal is to create permanency in the form of a long-lasting relationship or supportive connection for the youth by matching them with a mentor.

Valley Youth House (VYH) empowers and strengthens the lives of children, youth and families through inclusive programming that builds resilience and fosters growth and independence. Mentors are encouraged to participate in meetings with youth on a bi-weekly basis. Mentors will receive formal and informal training on VYH best practices and must obtain clearances and complete an application process. Evening and weekend opportunities are available to best support the schedule of the mentor and the mentee.
