Angel’s Helping Hands Nonprofit Organization Mentorship Program incorporates several essential elements designed to promote safe, effective, and high-quality mentoring relationships. As part of our commitment to excellence and youth safety, Angel’s Helping Hands conducts thorough screening of all prospective mentors, a critical component of any successful mentoring program.

This careful screening process helps ensure that selected mentors are well-qualified, trustworthy, and aligned with our mission, while safeguarding the well-being of the youth we serve. In addition, these measures help manage organizational risk and liability, allowing us to maintain a secure and supportive mentoring environment.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. All personal information collected during the screening process is handled with the highest level of care and will be kept strictly confidential in accordance with our privacy and data protection standards.
