Full Job Description

The Route 21 Mission: Find young adults who grew up in foster care to be paid and supported well to mentor youth currently in care.

The Route 21 Vision: Lived experience experts mentoring the next generation of youth impacted by foster care through intentional connection and community building.

*All applicants must have spent time in foster care growing up.

**We have TWO POSITIONS LEFT and are especially in need of MALE mentors for this cohort.

Did you spend time in foster care? Are you ready to give back and help youth who are currently in foster care in King County, WA? Do you want to learn more and teach youth critical life skills such as: sound mental health, finance, finding and keeping a job, healthy relationships, and creating safe living spaces? Being a Route 21 mentor may be the right position for you to put your life experience to work helping youth in care.

Route 21 mentors are matched with an incoming high school freshmen who are currently in foster care for one-to-one mentoring and group activities. Mentor and youth have breakfast each week during the school year. Twice a month all youth and mentors go on fun group outings like paintball, ice skating and pottery. Once a quarter all youth and mentors attend a Life Skills workshop events. Annually, all youth and mentors go away for a weekend for some fun and bonding but also for some real conversations. Route 21 mentors also receive a “Pit Crew” support team. Pit Crews provide relational support on life matters such as finances, housing and being a good mentor. Throughout the year mentors learn and teach their mentees about our core curriculum called W.H.E.E.L.S.: Wealth, Health, Education, Emotions, Life Skills and Spiritual.

Being a Route 21 mentor is a two year commitment and requires between 16 and 20 hours per month. The duties of a Route 21 mentor are embodied in the acronym C.A.R.E.. C - Career: Route 21 mentors help their youth begin to explore what Careers might be best for them. A - Apprentice: Route 21 mentors show a willingness to learn and grow. R - Reliable: Route 21 mentors are reliable. The youth we serve live in uncertainty and they need to be able to depend on their mentor to show up for them consistently. E - Empathy: Route 21 mentors can related to the youth they serve. Since Route 21 mentors have also spent time in foster care they are uniquely qualified to relate to their youth.

Training for this position will begin in the spring of 2025 and the cohort will launch July 1, 2025
