What is a mentorship program?
Village of Hope is thrilled to provide Maui a community program for youth in
foster care to connect with mentors in a safe and fun environment.
Mentors meet with their mentees for at least 1 hour a week to do life together by encouraging, teaching and sharing in fun activities like sports, crafts
and other guardian approved outings.
A 1 year minimum commitment to the program is an important foundation for building trusting relationships in this program.

How does it work?
Mentors and mentees are matched based on what they have in common, their strengths, personality and the youth's needs and mentor's experience. Every one can benefit from having a mentor, who is simply a person that is older than us, committed to helping us grow, learn and be encouraged.
​
All mentors complete mentor training courses, background checks, reference checks and interviews before being approved for this program.
