Mentors help shape young minds

By Jeannie Briones, Tulalip News staff

TULALIP, Wash. – To shape the minds of the next generation of leaders, is to first start by setting a good example of what moral values encompass and many other life skills.

If you are interested in taking the time to make a difference and become a mentor, Tulalip Boys & Girls Club staff are looking for volunteers willing to help children grow and flourish in life.

Anyone over the age of 16 can sign up to become a mentor. The Club requires that volunteers have a valid ID and pass a standard background check. Kids under the age of 18 will need a parent or guardian to sign a consent form.

Mentors will be working with kids ranging from five to eighteen years of age and the minimum requirement is one hour per week, any day Monday through Saturday. For more information, please contact the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club at 360-716-3400.
