Mentoras and Volunteers

for Owner of My Future (Dueña de mi futuro) 2026-27

Mentoras and Volunteers

Mentoras are mentors for our Owner of My Future (Dueña de mi futuro) program. Mentoras are usually college students who volunteer their time facilitating topics with scholars in grades 6-12. They encourage and support youth in their college and career exploration. Mentoras volunteer from 9:00am - 12:00pm with the program. The WKU Hilltopper Organization for Latin American Students (HOLAS) has been a key partner in identifying members to serve as mentoras.

There are limited opportunities for volunteers to assist with Owner of My Futuro but we welcome those who are interested to complete the form below or email us at info@forarealchange.org.

Owner of My Future (Dueña de mi futuro) began in the fall of 2020 with the first meetings held virtually, and four youth leaders led a group of students. Over the years, youth leaders have become more like mentors, building connections with youth during the program time and sharing their knowledge of college and careers.
