When you buy a reusable bag at the Main Street Montpelier Shaws, Youth First Mentoring gets a $1 donation. Isn't it a great time to refresh your crinkled, less-than-fresh bags?

The understanding of the value of youth mentoring growing. Glad to see this piece on the local news.

Youth First Mentoring currently has 9 children on our waiting list. If you or anyone you know is interested, please reach out. We have a particular need for male mentors, mentors who are interested in working with new Americans, and mentors who have knowledge or lived experience of challenges facing rural youth. No matter your background, chances are there is a child waiting for YOU right now!

The qualifications are simple: kind, caring, and supportive. If you are looking to make a difference in your community, consider becoming a mentor with us or a mentoring program in your area.

Mentorship coordinators say adult leaders are needed now more than ever
