Donations/Sponsorship Options

Would you consider a gift? To ease the process of becoming a mentor, we are not requiring mentors to cover some of the costs involved. We very much would like to keep this process as painless, but as protected, as possible. You can still be a part! Here are a few ideas: 

• Not able to become a mentor at this time, but you would like to sponsor someone else to do so. Background checks for each person are $65. 
• Sponsor a mentor/mentee to have a special night out like bowling, the movies, dinner or ice cream. 
• Help with gas cards for travel for mentors. 
• Or maybe you would like to do both or all of the above!
