Young Man Looking for Male Mentor in Hillsborough County

At 16, he’s already thinking about what he wants for his future and working toward some great goals, including earning his GED, exploring HVAC and welding certifications, and learning more about opportunities through Job Corps.

He is looking for a caring, dependable male role model who can spend time with him, encourage his goals, share life experiences, and help him develop the skills and confidence he needs as he prepares for adulthood.

You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes, simply showing up, listening, and being a positive role model can make a lasting impact.

Could you be the Mentor he needs? Contact our Hillsborough County office for more information at 813-272-5110 and then press 0. Visit www.guardianadlitem.org to learn about more volunteer opportunities.
