CHESTERFIELD 4-H MENTORING PROGRAM SEEKS VOLUNTEERS

The Chesterfield County 4-H mentoring program is seeking caring adult volunteers to help youth in grades 6-12 and their families. Volunteers will help children develop interpersonal and academic skills by participating with them in eight hours of face-to-face contact each month, such as structured recreation and community service activities, and weekly contact via phone, text message or e-mail.

Interested volunteers must be at least 21 years old and have a vehicle. A background screening and attendance at a training session is mandatory. Mentors should be dependable and willing to commit to a year-long relationship with a young person in need.
