Your abilities and life experience may be of great help to a child or family in a time of need. For young people who are living through particularly challenging times, a stable adult in their lives can be invaluable. ACS is committed to creating and sustaining meaningful and potentially long-lasting relationships between caring adults and youth in foster care.
The Central Mentoring Office seeks to:
- aid existing mentoring programs with recruitment and training;
- articulate “best practice” for mentoring programs serving youth in foster care;
- create additional mentoring programs for youth in high-need areas; and
