Way to Help Title Way to Help Content Mentoring a child supports our residents by continuing to develop appropriate relationships with adults, and keeping the youth connected to the community to which they will return. Mentors are matched one-on-one with a child from our program. Adults considering this opportunity must be able to volunteer at least one time per week for 2-4 hours throughout the child's 6-12 month stay at DCCH. Mentoring a child is one of the largest roles a volunteer at DCCH can fulfill. It is a big commitment, but it comes with the biggest reward: <strong>providing a child a supportive relationship they can look to for advice and encouragement during one of the toughest times of their life.</strong> Connected to Organization --- not set --- Ways to Help Tags Ages 12-15 18-24 55+ Adults Children Teens Ages Served Adults (18+) Babies and Toddlers Birth to 5 College Elementary (5-10) High School Middle School Professionals Commitment Length 1 Day 1 Full Year 1 School Year 1 Semester More Than A Year Groups Corporate Teams Families Groups (10+) Groups (2-10) Individuals Guidance Provided In-depth Minimal Moderate How Often Monthly Occasional One-time Weekly Time Commitment 1 Day 1 Hour/Month 1 Hour/Week 2 Hours/Week 2+ Hours/Week Training Formal None On-site Type Education Emotional Enrichment (Arts) Event support Fitness Indoor Office work Outdoor Physical Social Skills Typically Help Different Large Groups Different Single Students Different Small Groups Same Large (5+) Group Same One Student Same Small Group When Anytime Weekday Afternoons Weekday Evenings Weekday Mornings Weekends Where Community Center Library Nonprofit Place of Worship School Volunteer's Choice Youth Served Abuse Survivors Academically at Risk Arts Differently-abled English Language Learners Enrichment Facing Illness First Gen College Food Insecure Foster Care Gifted Homeless Juvenile System LGBTQ+ Low Income Household Mental Health Physical Fitness Pregnant/Parenting STEM -- Parent -- Add New
