Join the AMP

WE NEED MENTORS! Just one to two hours per week can make a huge difference in the life of a child. No prior experience is required, as we provide extensive training in order to prepare new mentors to be effective.

Do you need a mentor?  Do you want to be a mentor?

• If you are a parent/guardian or youth looking for a mentor, please review our list of "Current Mentor Programs" for more information about the location, age, and gender requirements for each program. To make a referral for a youth, please complete the "Contact the AMP" form on your left.
• If you are a community member who is interested in investing one or two hours per week as a mentor, please review the "Current Mentor Programs" section for more information about the location, age, and gender information for each of our programs that are recruiting new mentors.
