Want to make a difference in the life of a young person who is from an under-resourced school or marginalized environment?  Want to “pay it forward” and be a positive influence on another’s life? Consider becoming a mentor for the Shepherds Program.

Shepherds is a non-profit organization that seeks to positively impact an at-risk young person’s life by, among other things, pairing that student with an adult mentor. Shepherds is actively looking for volunteers willing to mentor a student for the 2019-2020 school year. Volunteers are assigned a student to whom they will provide guidance, support, and encouragement throughout the student’s high school years.  

“My Shepherds student, Quinton, will be graduating this year and I can tell you that, more so than I could ever have imagined, this student and our relationship with him has been a blessing to me and our family,” said Lisy Martinez, Prep parent and Shepherds mentor.
