Mentor Program
Our mentorship program pairs children aged 7-17 with staff members and volunteers, who share common interests. Mentors commit to contacting the child a minimum of two times a month (in person, phone, zoom, or text) and going on mentoring trips, when possible. If you would like to be a mentor or have a child that would like to have a mentor, please contact Dawn Lipscomb by emailing her at programming@the-shack.org.
Please note: mentor positions require a background check.
