GIRLS Be A Mentor The Be A Mentor program is looking for volunteers to mentor teen girls in Oakland and Hayward. Many of these girls are disadvantaged, living in a foster group home, or have been neglected or abused. These youth are in desperate need of a mentor who can spend time with them, helping them to build healthy self-esteems and giving them hope for a brighter future. Together, both mentor and mentee will create positive experiences, explore new opportunities, develop lasting memories, and enjoy their new friendship.
