Inspire. Bolster self-confidence.
Be a Mentor.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” Proverbs 27:17 NIV
One way volunteers help yoke inmates and returned citizens to Christ is through one-on-one mentoring. YPM’s mentoring program is a unique opportunity for volunteers to connect with and support those who are seeking guidance and personal growth during or after incarceration. Mentors provide guidance, encouragement, and support to help mentees develop essential life skills, set goals, and work towards a brighter future. YPM provides training and ongoing support to equip volunteers with the tools and resources to be an effective mentor.Mentors and mentees meet at least twice per month in person, on a phone call or online. They grow in relationship with Jesus Christ, encourage one another and seek solutions to challenges.
In addition to the incarcerated, returned citizens — including those assisted through the Meet at the Door ministry — are candidates for mentoring relationships.
