Each year adults from around Seattle volunteer their time to build community and make a difference. Mentoring with tSB is a big commitment, but one that changes lives, both of the youth who participate and the mentor who volunteers.

MENTOR APPLICATIONS WILL BE DUE OCTOBER 10th, 2012 at 5pm.

We’re still working on our 2013 calendar, but you can check out the 2012 to get an idea of the commitment: tSB Program Calendar 2012

(The following is a passage from a poem by tSB alum, Layla Anane.)

The responsibility is yours, to try and bring out the best in us,
Invest in us.
Your caring, your patience
A foundation laid solid through the ages
Of strength never-wither, whether
Or not we do wrong, to err is to be human
To make mistakes is to be alive, and
You are not there to protect us; you are just there to derive
To instill a sense of purpose, to instill a sense of drive
To take life as an offering and not some kind of bribe
You are not there to judge, to re-write or to berate
These words that I’ve seen fit to create
This description is of you all because
For a job that changes lives forever
I can think of no one better.
