Camp Laurel - A Camp for Children Living with HIV and AIDS

Thank you for your interest in mentoring in Camp Laurel's LEAF program. We appreciate the time you are taking out of your busy schedule to learn more about our organization and this new program.

The LEAF program is designed to help youth between the ages of 10-24 infected/affected by HIV/AIDS achieve their personal goals, which might include: applying to college or vocational school, building a career path and/or applying for the job of your dreams, building a resume and developing other job skills, opening a bank account and building a personal finance plan, and creating a personal health plan.

Mentors are asked to commit a minimum of four hours a month to work with their paired mentee. As a role model and support person for your mentee, you will also help them set and accomplish goals (be that how to apply to college, write a resume, open a bank account, etc.). Prior to acceptance into the program, each mentor will submit an application, participate in an individual interview, and attend a six-hour training. Mentors must also be at least 21 years of age or older.

Thank you for taking the first step towards becoming a Camp Laurel mentor. We truly appreciate your interest in serving youth living with HIV and AIDS.
