Brother to Brother Mentoring Program

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child

What is a mentor?

Mentors are reliable adults who establish a bond based on mutual respect and loyalty with younger, less experienced persons, encouraging their total growth


Mentors can be role models for appropriate behaviors and values
Mentors can be tutors and teaches helping youth acquire knowledge by showing them how to do things
Mentors can be trusted supportive friends, helping youth build self-esteem, listening to their ides and concerns, expressing belief in their abilities and giving constructive criticism
Mentors can introduce youth to new people, places and ideas, engaging them in positive activities, helping them to set goals and explore options and turn difficult situations into learning experiences
Mentorships are free and mentors are volunteers recruited throughout the San Francisco Community
Program coordinators try to create suitable pairs by matching mentors and mentees with common interests
