Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor with Catholic Guardian Services’ A Guiding Hand program.
Our program is simple: by meeting just twice a month with your Little on your own schedules in the community, as a volunteer, you are able to make a positive, often life-long impact on a child in need. We will match volunteers over the age of 21 with children between the ages of 10-12 from all Bronx communities.
Please complete the application below.
