Volunteers Needed

Alpha Foundation is searching for retires that desire to help in the community. Our youth need the wisdom that you have obtain over the years, and that caring spirit that comes along with those big hearts.

​Our nation is faced with a growing number of young single parent homes, and that has created a gap in the up bringing of today's youth compared to prior generation.

​Mentoring to our youth is so crucial today,  and studies have proven that youth who have positive mentors in their lives are less likely to go out and offend against society.

​Our youth today are in need of mentoring, and that mentoring needs to come from those who have lived life. Alpha Foundation has always been about preparing youth to become viable adults in society, and we need your help. 

Coaching verse Mentoring

​​Coaching is task oriented. The focus is on concrete issues, such as managing more effectively, speaking more articulately, and learning how to think strategically. This requires a content expert (coach) who is capable of teaching the coachee how to develop these skills.
Mentoring is relationship oriented. It seeks to provide a safe environment where the mentored shares whatever issues affect his or her professional and personal success. Although specific learning goals or competencies may be used as a basis for creating the relationship, its focus goes beyond these areas to include things, such as work/life balance, self-confidence, self-perception, and how the personal influences the professional.

Commitment

commitment is so important with this program, and we ask that you make a year long commitment. This allows enough time to build a bond between you and the mentee. So many of our you today have experience the hurt of abandonment, and we will not add to their pain. Please, give careful consideration to this fact before committing.
