Be a Mentor

We need mentors who have a heart for helping women who feel lost, confused, or hopeless. Mentoring involves lifting others up by offering compassion and guidance and hope. A mentor walks alongside a mentee providing an encouraging space to grow, share and develop her confidence and self worth.

Ministry Support 

You can make a difference through a financial gift to support our services. Our ministry is 100% funded by the generous donations of individuals and churches. We have one part time staff and all other support is through the time and efforts of dedicated volunteers. The Raleigh Baptist Association kindly provides our free office space, but we are not funded through their budget. Your donation will:

 

• Help us continue to train and support mentors who are working one on one with women in our program

• Provide materials and teachers for class lessons, bible studies, class meals, and other class related costs

• Provide financial support for participants in an emergency or as a scholarship for tuition or to support their efforts towards self-sufficiency 

• Provide food cards, gas cards as needed

• Secure the overall operation of this ministry
