Mentoring
Our mentorship program is involved in working with youth one to one in a variety of areas including working with horses, farm related activities, outdoor exploring and adventures, and much more. An ideal mentor will have the ability to get onto the child or youth’s level and meet them on their level regardless of their age, developmental level, religion, and culture. The mentor will not need to have all the answers to life’s big questions but have the willingness listen, empathize, and share the love of Jesus Christ.
We are very thankful for the Mentors we have here at River’s Edge. It is a blessing to be surrounded by such wonderful people as we continue on our journey and work here at River’s Edge. We are looking forward to welcoming more people to our team! Consider joining today!
River’s Edge exists to support children and youth to grow spiritually, mentally and socially in a unique farm setting. As a Christian organization our core purpose is to share the hope, love and saving grace of Jesus Christ in a broken world. We do this by matching youth with mentors and providing a safe place for them to explore the beauty of creation and grow together.
