★★ (Free) Mentorship for Boys Ages 5-13 (Beach Cities / South Bay)

Looking for a positive male role model for your son? I offer one-on-one mentorship for boys ages 5–13 in a safe, structured, and fun environment. ✅ Clean background check ✅ Safe driving record ✅ Local references available ✅ 20+ years of experience working with kids (youth sports coach, mentor, community volunteer) I believe in building confidence, encouraging healthy habits, and creating lasting memories through age-appropriate activities. Activities can include: * Playing catch, basketball, or other sports * Outdoor walks, nature exploration, or park time * Reading together or working on school skills * Board games, puzzles, or creative projects * Fun local outings (arcades, museums, kid-friendly events) * Simple life skills like teamwork, communication, and problem-solving * And sometimes, just being someone who cares and sees & values them for who they are All activities can be done at your home with your supervision or out at public venues (with your approval). My goal is to provide a supportive, trustworthy presence and give your child positive experiences that help them grow. About me: I'm in my 50s with 2 adult children. I've been a year-round volunteer in youth organizations for 20 years and have coached over 700 kids (some of whom I also mentored). My profession is I.T., but my passion is working with kids. I have a clean background check, safe driving record, and can provide local references who can vouch for my history working with children. If you’d like to learn more, I’d be happy to answer any questions and find out how I can make your child's life better. I do not charge for mentoring (but if you also need occasional childcare, we'd need to treat that separately.)
