This spring several foster youth in our area will be graduating high school and begin living a more independent life. Some will be entering the work force while some may plan to continue their education. Most will be leaving their foster homes to search for a place of their own. What is so different about their situation? They have no permanent family to be their support.
New freedom brings new responsibility, decisions and challenges. The CALL, along with others in the community, is looking for mentors who would be willing to make a commitment to help bridge the way for a successful and productive life of a young person.
Mentoring a foster youth is a big responsibility and can change the lives of both the mentor and the mentee.
