WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MENTEE
The New Ground Program is here for young adults who are transitioning out of foster care and are ready to take their next steps with someone in their corner. When you join the program, you’ll get to CHOOSE a mentor who genuinely cares about you. They’re there to listen, share their experiences, and support your goals, whether that’s school, work, or simply figuring out what’s next for you. More than anything, your mentor is a friend who believes in you and wants to see you succeed. Together, you’ll build confidence, connections, and a sense of community as you move forward in adulthood.
