Mentors
By volunteering with LBN, volunteers take on significant responsibilities and develop leadership, communication, and organization skills. You will have the opportunity to work directly with one child and develop a supportive mentoring relationship that will help foster building their learning skills, self-esteem, and a positive attitude. With more experience, many of our mentors also step into leadership roles within LBN.
We offer online, hybrid, and in-person programs.
