Mentor Opportunities
As
a community mentor, we ask for a commitment of one year.
Traditionally, our community mentors spend three hours
each week with either a young man or young woman
incarcerated or recently released from one of the
state's juvenile correctional facilities.
The AIM program is in operation within several of
Indiana's juvenile correctional facilities. Our mentors
are given flexibility in deciding their weekly schedule,
assigned youth and facility. Some mentors choose to
mentor youths already released from incarceration.
Throughout the year long commitment, mentors receive
training and support from AIM staff.
Requirements:
Must be at least 21 years old
Have excellent communication skills–especially in the
area of listening
Recognize and accept the diversity of others
Demonstrate the ability to interact with youth between
the ages of 12-19
Have a good sense of humor and a great deal of patience.
