Ever considered becoming a mentor? Space of His Own NEEDS you!

Space of His Own is a mentoring program for fifth-grade boys in the City of Alexandria. Throughout the school year, mentors and mentees meet each week at the Alexandria Seaport Foundation to enjoy dinner and work on a carpentry project. Boys learn lifelong lessons and skills as they build chests and bookshelves, carve nameplates, and learn how to wire a lamp with the guiding hand of a mentor. Space of His Own will be holding an orientation for new mentors on Wednesday, February 12 at the Alexandria Seaport Foundation. To find out more and register, please e-mail recruitment@spaceofhisown.org or call (703)-746-4501.
