Become a Mentor

Mentors provide Gateway Woods’ teens and WillowBridges young adults with support, guidance, and a sense of belonging. They are community members who model Christ and create relationships that are emotionally, physically, and spiritually safe. Mentors welcome LARC youth into their families, spending time with them and developing supportive, consistent relationships.

Just a few hours a week invested in someone else makes a huge difference! A phone call, playing a game, or having a meal together are all valuable ways to come alongside and do life together while building relationships.

What LARC does: LARC exists to empower young people by connecting them with resources and supportive relationships to foster continued growth toward a better future. 

WillowBridge Transitional Housing: WillowBridge serves at-risk youth ages 18-25. WillowBridge gives young adults a safe place where they can live and grow into independence.

These programs are not a rescue but rather provide resources like job training. We provide assistance through relationship-based mentors and community partners. We rally the community to come alongside and encourage these young people with compassionate care.
