Youth Enrichment Fund
The YEF provides funding for valuable youth programs such as mentoring, leadership opportunities, college scholarships and the CHOICES® program to the youth of Santa Fe Springs, our future business leaders. These programs provide students the opportunity to achieve success in academics, and develop effective interpersonal skills for employment, leadership, and civic-mindedness.
Make A Difference And Be A Mentor!
The Santa Fe Springs Chamber/League Youth Enrichment Fund (YEF) is looking for business volunteers who enjoy having fun, working with high school students, and are interested in being a mentor. If this sounds like you, then please consider volunteering as a YEF Mentor.
The YEF mentors will participate through various activities such as career day, college visits, business breakfasts, and more! Our next program will begin in August and will continue through May.
Every month (August through May) there is a structured and planned activity for mentors and students to attend. These activities are on weekdays and run 1.5-2 hours. The goal of each activity is to encourage interpersonal and soft skills in the students and to teach them about life and business experiences.
So, if you are friendly, out-going, enjoy spending time with students, and are willing to be a dedicated role model to help students plan for a successful future, then contact
Renett Banagas, Director of Youth Services at renett@sfschamber.com
or call (562) 944-1616 to sign-up.
