BECOME A MENTOR. MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Foster/Kinship Care Program invites caring adults to become mentors for our children and youth. As a mentor, you offer consistency, encouragement, and a trusted connection, helping young people feel supported, valued, and connected to their culture and community. Your time and presence can strengthen confidence, build resilience, and remind our children that they are not alone.
Teach. Support. Uplift. Become a mentor today.
