About Mentor 360

Mentor 360 is a group of community members from all backgrounds and cultures that work with housing residents at our Cornerstone Group Home in addition to our Transitional and Rapid Rehousing Programs for youth experiencing homelessness.

Mentor 360 is always looking for caring adults who can provide an opportunity for our youth to expand their networks of support systems and connect with role models in the community.
