Growing up is tough no matter where you come from. As you reach your teenage years, you have to start taking responsibility for yourself—your grades, your ambitions, and your diet. Now imagine growing up in a situation where your parents aren’t all that helpful and your community and its schools don’t have the resources to give you the help that you need to get on the right track. This is often the case in inner-city neighborhoods across America, and this includes many communities in the greater Los Angeles area. That’s why Calabasas, CA based SOSMentor was formed in 2000. They’re a non-profit organization that provides “academic mentoring, resources, and educational support to underserved students and their families.” They also put a huge emphasis on diet and fitness, which are really important things to learn about as you enter adulthood.
SOSMentor addresses the problems found in underserved communities by bringing mentors into the communities and helping students in those communities “pursue careers and higher education and make healthy eating and lifestyle choices.” With a focus on growth, achievement, leadership, and success, SOSMentor is well equipped to do things like “increase grades, reduce violence and substance abuse, lower the rates of teen pregnancies, while increasing high school graduations and college admissions.” If you like the sound of the work that SOSMentor is doing, then you should check out their Jobs page. Their current openings include a full-time Program Coordinator position along with opportunities for Registered Dietitians, Physical Activity Trainers, and Mentors. Check them out and see how you can make your transition to adulthood by helping others do the same.
