YW transitional living mentors sought

The YWCA Transitional Living Program is seeking volunteers for the Women Empowering Women Mentoring Program. The YWCA of Van Wert County Transitional Living Program is the primary comprehensive transitional program in Van Wert, Mercer, and Paulding counties serving women and women with children who are homeless with safe, housing and support. The YWCA works with each resident to develop the confidence and skills necessary to achieve the highest possible level of independence.

The YWCA seeks to empower women and surround them with other positive influences. The mentoring program is designed to help achieve this goal.  All those participating in the Transitional Living Program could use another positive member of their support team.

Ideally, mentors could commit one to two hours per month to helping support another woman on her journey back to self-sufficiency. A good mentor is a woman who is a patient listener, a motivator, and someone with life experience to share. Those who have job seek experience, parenting experience, have been through a hardship, or maybe are just someone who cares deeply for those around them, may the perfect mentor for someone.

Most importantly, the YWCA is seeking mentors with a deep passion to help others, someone who will show kindness when needed and also help for that little extra push in the right direction.

Those who would like to become a mentor or would like more information on the program, can contact Andrea Morrow at 419.238.6639.
