Volunteer: Be A Mentor To Our Boys & Young Men

Mentorship through Son of a Saint has a profound impact on fatherless boys by providing them with consistent guidance, emotional support, and positive role models. The organization helps these young men navigate life's challenges and develop critical life skills. Son of a Saint provided a space for the boys to host their very own podcast that I participated on a weekly basis and through this, I was able to witness the kids curate and host their own podcast ranging from sports topics to "What If" scenarios, which allowed the boys to build self-esteem, confidence, build on communication skills, express creativity and social skills. Like the saying goes, "If you love New Orleans, invest in its future."  Jonathan Turner, Mentor Since 2018
