Why Mentor at Legacy?

Because every child deserves someone in their corner.

At Legacy, mentoring isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about showing up consistently, listening with care, and helping a student believe in their own potential. Whether it’s during the school day, on a Saturday at REMIX, or through a hands-on life skills session, mentors help create moments that shape a lifetime.

When you mentor at Legacy, you’re not just giving your time—you’re offering trust, encouragement, and hope to a young person who needs it most.

What Makes Legacy Different?

  • We Meet Students Where They Are

    In schools, in the community, and in their real lives.

  • You're Never Alone

    We provide training, resources, a co-mentor and a team to support you every step of the way.

  • You Make a Real Difference

    Our students remember their mentors for life—and often become mentors themselves.

  • Flexible Commitment

    Opportunities available during school hours, evenings, or weekends.

What We Ask of Mentors

  • Commit to 1 hour per week with your group.
  • Participate in mentor orientation and training (provided by The Legacy Project).
  • Complete a background check, paid for by Legacy
  • An open mind, patience, and a willingness to listen and learn.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be present.
