— Become a mentor

Apply to be a mentor.

Behind every confident teenager is someone who took the time to guide them. If you have experience, a skill, or simply a willing heart, you can walk alongside a teenager as they grow in confidence, purpose and character.

Mentors with Little Seeds encourage teenagers, share real-world insight about education and careers, and help them think through the choices in front of them. You don't need to be an expert — you just need to care and be willing to show up.

  • Share your experience in education, careers, debate, a skill or craft, or faith and character.
  • Mentors are matched with teenagers based on interest area and availability.
  • You can give as little as a few hours a month — every bit helps a teenager grow.
