🌟 Become a Mentor. Change a Life. 🌟

RAISE is looking for caring adults to mentor refugee youth (ages 15–24) as they pursue their goals and build connections in our community.

Our youth have big dreams. They love sports, enjoy school, spend time outdoors, and aspire to become mechanics, doctors, veterinarians, teachers, business owners, and so much more. What they're looking for is someone to encourage them, listen to them, and walk alongside them as they grow.

Mentoring is a semester-long commitment with monthly check-ins. A small investment of your time can have a lasting impact on a young person's confidence, sense of belonging, and future.

If you've ever wondered how you can make a difference in someone's life, this is your opportunity.

📱 Scan the QR code on the poster or reach out to learn more. We'd love to have you join our community of mentors!

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can help our youth thrive. 💙🧡
