The Healthy Start Parent Mentor Program, a service of Youth Eastside Services, is looking for volunteers interested in helping young parents with their young children.
Program volunteers act as mentors to young parents, providing them with friendship, support and information that can assist parents in making healthy choices for them and their children. Mentors refer their Healthy Start participant to outside agencies for additional support and encourage steps towards family independence.
Healthy Start is offering an orientation at 6 p.m. August 16 for people interested in becoming mentors. Call Karen Wilson at 425-586-2320 or email KarenW@YouthEastsideServices.org to RSVP or for more information.
Interviews will follow the orientations and training will be in October.
In addition to English speakers, Spanish speaking, bilingual volunteers are encouraged to apply. The orientation and training will take place at Youth Eastside Services in Crossroads Park in Bellevue, 999 164th Ave. NE.
