CCPY Looking for Mentors and Volunteers
Wednesday, July 20th, 2011
California Community Partners for Youth needs your help! We are looking for amazing new mentors and volunteers for the 2011-2012 school year. CCPY is a school-based non-profit organization which strives to educate and support at-risk teens to stay in school and learn to set and achieve their personal goals. Through intensive training and support, CCPY creates a mutually supportive community of youth and caring adults to help participants understand their underlying attitudes and beliefs, fostering a sense of accountability. We invite you to assist challenged teens to discover their potential by staying in school and breaking the cycle of poverty, crime, or drugs though life-skills coaching, mentoring, and role-modeling.
What is a CCPY Mentor?
- CCPY is an on-campus, after-school mentoring program that supports “at-risk” high school youth in East Side San Jose set and achieve goals.
- Mentors work with youth to support them in working toward goals.
- Mentors have weekly phone calls with their mentees and attend 2 community meetings with their mentees per month to help the youth learn new skills.
- Mentors also take youth on one outing each month to show youth new experiences.
- Our youth need loving, supportive mentors in their life that they can trust- just like you!
Additional Volunteer Opportunities:
- Event Volunteer: Help CCPY at community meetings and special events.
- Data Entry Voluteer: Support CCPY with various data entry
- Salesforce/technical Volunteer: CCPY desperately needs a Saleforce expert to help us with integration. We can also use computer/techincal support
- Whatever your skills... we can use you! Meet us at one of the info sessions below and learn more.
