Mentoring

The Mentoring program matches youth with a Mentor according to their interests, hobbies, and other personal descriptors. Mentoring groups range from 1:1 to 1:10. A commitment of 12 months is required by all program participants. 

​

Mentors and youth meet on average, once a week for one hour at one of our Youth Center locations and are always under the supervision of City Staff. 

​

 

 

 

 

 

All mentors must undergo a background check through the City of Oxnard.
