VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

YMCA SAFE PLACE SERVICES

Y-NOW MENTORS

We know that children of prisoners are 7x more likely to become incarcerated themselves one day and we believe that these teens deserve the chance to become confident, productive members of our community while seeing how much they can achieve.

Our Y-NOW participants are between the ages of 11-15 years old, living in the Louisville metro area, with at least 1 incarcerated parent. These teens often face issues with shame, fear, blame, ridicule, trust and embarassment, while sometimes struggling academically.

We're looking for mentors that listen, provide encouragement, support and stability. Our volunteers positions run July-September. No experience is necessary and training is provided.

Contact Stephanie Cornett at 635.4394 for more information on how you can make a difference.
