Make a difference in a young person’s life! Become a Seven Tepees mentor. As a mentor, you’ll gain the satisfaction of helping a youth succeed, and you’ll be a role model to a youth who might otherwise never have long-term one-on-one support from a caring adult.

Mentors and youth participate in a wide range of activities together: community service projects, sports events, and activities that explore different cultures. Also, you’ll have fun being together, playing together, and making your own expeditions.
