Become A Mentor

College or high school students can volunteer and become a mentor to our youth by providing them with an educational and peer support system during each academic year. Our volunteers will have the opportunity to develop strong relationships with our youth and their families with regular engagement, field trips and regular educational tutoring in school work, athletics and our arts programming. Our mentorship program provides the opportunity for individuals to assist in bridging the gap between cultures and help central Iowans connect the immigrant community much better.
