Mentor
Mentors serve as a trusted resource and guide to a youth in foster care age 14 or older, or an individual who has already aged out of foster care. We have opportunities for both men and women to get involved. You will help these youth learn essential life skills, make informed decisions, complete paperwork, meet deadlines and more.
OAI coaches its mentors on trauma triggers and best conversation topics tailored to each individual youth. Interested in becoming a mentor? Fill out our volunteer inquiry form.

Event Committee
OAI is always looking for committee members to help with our ongoing projects and events! Committee members help secure auction items, play an integral role in planning events, help secure sponsors and so much more.
Education and Career Prep Advisor
Education and Career Prep advisors work with foster care youth in high school as well as those young adults who have aged out of foster care. Advisors help these young adults make informed decisions about next steps concerning education or career preparation. This may include helping someone fill out their FAFSA form, see what textbooks are needed for courses, negotiate past amounts due or help them determine their strengths and what courses in which they should enroll.
We partner with local high schools and colleges to bring this program to the students.
