Become a Mentor

Becoming a mentor is fun and easy by following these simple steps:

  1. Complete an application including an authorization for background and police checks.
  2. Learn the specifics of the program you are interested in during our 30 minute screening interview.
  3. Provide information about your availability and interests during our 45 minute home visit.
  4. Discuss profiles of children our program managers think would be a good match for you.
  5. Meet your new young friend during our match meeting, and begin your journey together! 

Start the process today by calling (729-5600) or emailing us at info@bestfriendsnm.org.

Note:  A home visit is not required for Lunch and After School Mentoring.
