The need for youth to have positive role models and positive social connections is more important than ever!
Our waiting list of youth waiting to be matched with their very own mentor is growing. We are spreading the word about the importance of and need for mentors in the lives of youth in our community. Catholic Charities, Diocese of Metuchen’s Connections Program is currently recruiting volunteers to mentor youth in Middlesex County and Franklin Township, New Jersey. We currently have close to 100 children on our waiting list. Our mentors provide a one to one mentoring relationship to a youth with special life circumstances. Mentors act as a role model and friend. They take the child out to enjoy activities in the community. It involves a 3 hour per week commitment.
Please contact Jeanette Cullen of the Connections Program at Catholic Charities at (732) 646-4076 or jcullen@ccdom.org for more information.
