Next Steps Mentoring Program

When: September 10-30, 2020

Where: Red Hook Community Justice Center

For our upcoming Next Steps Mentoring Program, we are seeking (3) Mentors. Next Steps is a transformative mentoring program that will engage young people from the Red Hook Houses in group and one-on-one mentoring sessions that we hope will encourage and engage them to be their best selves through interactive journaling and setting and achieving personal goals. As you know our goal is to enable young people to recognize their own strengths/interests as they make life changing decisions and this program will do just that! For the mentor positions we really would like to hire a native from the Red Hook Community who can be a credible and inspiring messenger/mentor to the participants.

FYI: It’s also a part-time position. If you know of anyone who may qualify or are interested in applying for the position, please share this link to the application below.
