Roles of a YRAP Volunteer:
MENTOR:
All youth who participate in YRAP are matched with a youth mentor who spends time with them and supports them through their court involvement and consequences. This is an essential part of YRAP because it builds long-term relationships founded on trust while also offering a positive role model who is close in age. Learn more about mentorship here.
