Become a Mentor with the Homecoming Program

Become a Mentor with the Homecoming Program

The Homecoming Program empowers veterans who are experiencing or have experienced homelessness to create a new path toward a successful future. During a 14-week program, group members become part of a family-like community, created through an environment based on trust, support and respect. Group members will attend inspirational workshops that help them develop goals and the tools for success.

The program needs mentors to guide and support our participants throughout the 14-week cycle.

Mentors will:

1. Assist participants in setting clear, specific, attainable goals.
2. Discuss the material covered in each of the workshop sessions.
3. Prepare the participant for Graduation.

Mentors will meet with their participants six times during the term, not counting Graduation, so it’s essential that mentors make a strong commitment to the program.

The mentor evenings are as follows: (Dinner from 5:30-6 PM (optional) followed by the session from 6-8 PM)

Monday, March 21
Monday, April 4
