Resonant Vibe Volunteer Mentor Application

Welcome to Resonant Vibe!

Thank you!
Thank you for your interest in being a mentor in our R.I.S.E. Youth Mentoring program!  

At Resonant Vibe, we believe meaningful relationships have the power to transform lives. We’re building a community where youth and families feel seen, supported, and empowered through mentorship and creative connection. Whether you're passionate about uplifting young people or lending a hand at community events, there's a place for you here. 


No special skills are required - just a big heart, a bit of time, and a belief in the power of showing up. With staff support, training, and a welcoming team beside you, you’ll never volunteer alone.

 

R.I.S.E. YOUTH MENTORING

RESILLENCE. INSPIRATION. SUPPORT. EMPOWERMENT.

  

We know the power of a caring adult who shows up, listens, and believes in a young person’s potential. Through R.I.S.E. Youth Mentoring, volunteers are matched with youth ages 6–18 to build consistent, supportive relationships that foster resilience, inspiration, and growth.

 

 No experience required - just a willingness to be present and intentional. Whether you’re creating art, talking through challenges, or learning something new together, R.I.S.E. is about showing up and helping youth feel seen, heard, and valued.

 

 As a Mentor, you will:

 

  • Meet twice a month for at least an hour with your mentee
  • Explore shared interests like art, music, games, or just hang out and talk
  • Help your mentee set and work toward personal, academic, or emotional goals
  • Be supported every step of the way by Resonant Vibe staff

 

Time Commitment: Flexible

Support Provided: Training, resources, and ongoing guidance from our program team. Opportunities to connect with other mentors and share experiences.
