Mentorship

They've been there. You don't have to go.

Our mentors went through the system, did the work, and built steady lives. Now they share what they learned with young people at a crossroads.

Mentors and young people talking together

For young people & families

How a match happens

01

You reach out

A young person, parent or guardian fills out a short request. No judgment, no record.

02

We call you back

Our team talks with you to understand what's going on and what kind of mentor would help most.

03

We make the match

We introduce you to a mentor whose story fits yours — and set up your first conversation together.

Request a mentor

Safety comes first.

Many of the young people we serve are minors. We take that seriously at every step.

  • Every mentor is screened and background-checked by our team
  • Under 18? A parent or guardian is part of every match
  • First meetings happen with G.O.S.O. staff involved
  • Mentors follow a code of conduct — no exceptions

Become a mentor

Your story could be the turning point.

If you've been through the system and built a stable, law-abiding life, young people need to hear from you. We'll train you, support you, and match you carefully.
