Volunteer: Mentor Children/Youth with an Incarcerated Parent

Did you know that there are over 4,000 kids in RI with an incarcerated parent?  And approximately 65 of those children/youth between the ages of 7 and 15 years old are currently waiting for a positive mentor like you!?

A RISE mentor is a caring adult, at least 21 years old with a car (or access to one), who wants to support a mentee by exposing them to new activities, sharing life experiences, helping them find a job, or just having fun together!

Mentors make a commitment of 6 hours a month for a minimum of 1 year.
