“Mentors”

Mentors are adult participants of United Parish of Auburndale who demonstrate inclusive, expansive, and steady faith who accept responsibility to meet with one or two High School students with whom they are paired. Mentors are nominated by youth and their families, interviewed by pastor or youth counselor, and endorsed by the congregation each year in June.

Students who wish to deepen their faith through the CONFIRMATION program are invited to begin selection of a mentor in the Spring of their eighth-grade year. Mentors can also be assigned or re-assigned as needed through a teen’s High School career. The official mentor  partnership ends at graduation, yet for many young adults, the relationship remains vibrant and deep.
