Mentor a Family in Need – Families Forward Charlotte needs Family Liaison Mentors!
Friday, April 28, 2023 | Virtual
Families Forward Charlotte empowers local families to overcome intergenerational poverty. In their Family Success Program, family liaison mentors develop one-on-one relationships with their assigned family partners, assist them in setting personal goals and help them navigate the steps necessary to achieve those goals. Creating change for these families is a journey…and we hope you’ll join us for the next one! You’re invited to attend one of our short (zoom) informational sessions to learn about how being a Family Liaison Mentor can truly be life-changing to a struggling family in our community. Sign up using the following link, or email info@familiesforwardclt.org

This role is a commitment of 4-6 hours a month for at least 1 year. Training will be held on April 28 or 29 (you choose one date to attend).
