FEATURED ANNOUNCEMENTS

You can go Back to School by becoming a Youth Success Mentor!

Remember the adult who showed up, listened, and helped you see what was possible? You can be that person for a young student in the Riverview or Snoqualmie Valley School Districts.

Becoming a Youth Success Mentor is a great way to get offline, be present and make a lasting impact through mentorship. The Back to School season is the perfect time to join YSM. This year, mentors AND mentees are closing tabs and opening conversations, because we all need more of that.

Can you spend 30 mins – 1 hr once a week with a young person playing games, reading, creating art, talking and listening? Discover the joy and connection of mentoring with YSM. This opportunity is also open to high schoolers!

This year was awesome. I liked everything, my mentor is very kindhearted always ready to listen and cheer me up. I love how my mentor is always so positive to me even if my mentor’s day isn’t going well, my mentor always does their best.

Thank you very much for all the help you provide to me and my family. Connecting with you has been a great blessing. From assisting with financial support to providing information about community resources, mentorship for my daughters, and a place to connect with my community. Without your guidance, I would feel isolated and lost.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

for TRACE Care Team

Muchas gracias por toda la ayuda que me ha brindado a mí y a mi familia. Haberme conectado contigo ha sido una gran bendición. Desde el apoyo financiero hasta la información de recursos, la mentoría para mis hijas y un espacio para conectar con mi comunidad. Sin tu apoyo y orientación, me sentiría sola y perdida.
