An adult male volunteer in Vermillion would like to mentor a youth age 10-14 years old, and spend time with him. A 16-year-old girl is also seeking an adult female mentor. The process is easy, and there is no cost to join the program. Group activities are covered by the foundation, Mentors are also needed in Elk Point and Jefferson, SD. Mentoring pays huge benefits for both the youth and adults. Applications for both youth and adults are at http://www.clayunionfoundation.org/. The volunteers are all background checked and interviewed before the match, and are asked to spend two hours per week with their match, which can have a positive impact on a youth’s life.
