Families may use this form to keep us updated on family concerns. We would like to send thinking of you cards, put you in touch with resources if needed/available. We will not be able to help with every need, but we do our best.

Some of our families may be interested in volunteering and helping---You are welcome to share your desires to participate in our programming whether it is helping with school supply drive or becoming a mentor as well.

After completing the form, we will follow-up with a phone call within 24-48 hours. You can also use this form to share stories about your mentor/experience. WE LOVE POSITIVE STORIES AND PICTURES!

Join the BAM Family Support Facebook Group

Welcome to BAM! We are so thankful to have you and your child in our program.

This group is an effort to create a village around our families and sharing the opportunities available in our Community.

Programs always work better when all key players are heard and provided with resources. Please share, ask questions, and be involved in conversations.

(Remember, we are all here to help and be respectful. We always want to be encouraging others vs. tearing down. Let's model this to our young people)

Be A Mentor will provide:

Information on Scholarships as we hear

Ask for feedback from parents on Trainings and other opportunities you would like.

Share internships as received

Share opportunities available such as field trips, writing and drawing contests etc.
