Our HOPE Mentors program is led by Coordinator Jennifer Soos who works with new volunteers to train them as mentors and then remains available as their main contact as they begin to do outreach across the globe.
If you'd like a facilitated match with a HOPE Mentor, click here to fill out the self-intake form. Once Jennifer recieves your request for a match, she'll make the connections happen via email initially. Once mentors and families connect, they can then take their connections in any direction they like. Some families want email support, other like to connect via phone or Skype video, and still others, if matched with a mentor in their same local area, will want to meet up in person for one-on-one support.
If you'd like a self selected match with a HOPE Mentor, you can email any of mentors listed below to contact them yourself.
