 Mentors and Tutors 

FGLA provides opportunities for youth who may go unmatched with other mentor organizations. We recruit mentors with a focus on their connection and adaptability with underserved youth. It is our belief that hiring these near to peer mentors increase relatable interactions and long lasting relationships.

Mentors primary roles are to foster, nurture, and maintain close, positive relationships with the youth that we guide. Additionally, mentors will explain the value of why they do what they do, in part because of their personal experiences and insight with 
dealing with trauma, abuse, and violence. Mentors play a role into building deeper and closer relationships with the youth they help to develop by guiding them in the right direction on a path to prosperity.
