The Richmond Chapter of Concerned Black Men is looking for more men interested in mentoring youths.
The program is holding its next orientation sessions for mentors Thursday, April 7, and Thursday, May 5, at the organization’s office, 2025 E. Main St. Both sessions will be 6 to 8 p.m.
The Richmond program is part of the CBM Cares National Mentoring Initiative. Mentors commit to dedicate eight hours each month to mentoring.
Currently, the Richmond chapter provides year-round, one- on-one and group mentoring that pairs boys in grades 6 through 8 with African-American mentors. The group currently works with 50 boys from Franklin Military Academy in the East End and Henderson Middle School in North Side.
