What if the volunteer is out of town occasionally, can he/she still mentor?
Yes, mentors in Building Dreams must agree to a one year commitment. Mentors also must agree to meet with the child a minimum of 4 hours each month. The 4 hours can be spent at one time (e.g., on a Saturday), however if this happens, mentors should have phone or email contact with the child in the interim. If the mentor has a regularly scheduled time to see the child and cannot keep the appointment, we ask only that the mentor let the child know that he or she cannot be there and reschedule.
