Help Us With Our Summer Backpack Drive!

We’re collecting backpacks filled with school supplies for youth in need, and your support can make a big difference.

You can easily contribute by purchasing items from our Amazon Wishlist—just choose what you'd like to donate and have it shipped directly to us by choosing the Be A Mentor address as you check out.

Every item helps prepare a young person for a successful new school year. Together, we can make a lasting impact—thank you for your kindness!

We are looking for caring, compassionate people to help kids in the Antelope Valley who really need someone -- like you! 💗

Be A Mentor, in partnership with Lost Angels Children's Project, provides mentoring to youth ages 10-17 impacted by violence and in an area where there are few resources and support available.

Our mentoring program has the goal of preventing youth from becoming involved in the juvenile justice system or re-entering the system.

🎉 We’re so excited to start introducing the amazing staff leading our mentoring programs across all 5 rural sites! First up: Madison from Blythe! 🌵💙

✨ Meet Madison — Blythe Site Coordinator ✨

❓ What’s your favorite thing about your town/community?
💬 “I have always been able to run into people I may not have seen for months or even years and it never feels like any time has passed.”

❓ What are you most excited for this year?
💬 “Starting up and meeting our first cohort!” 🎉

❓ Something you'd love to say to someone thinking about joining our program?
💬 “It can be scary to think about, but honestly both youth and mentors are going to teach each other so much along the way. You grow together, and although it may not feel like it, an impact can be made both ways.” 💙

We’re so lucky to have Madison helping lead our Blythe program, and we can’t wait to introduce the rest of our incredible team! 🌟

Mentoring makes stronger communities! Research shows the many benefits mentoring can have for kids, from improved school attendance and lower dropout rates to higher rates of graduation, college enrollment and higher aspirations overall, leading to greater success in life, which is great for their communities.

Mentoring has so many benefits for the mentor, too.
