Dear Hiring Manager,

As an experienced Youth Mentor in support of young offenders, I apply with enthusiasm for this role.

I am currently a Mentor working across a number of Linklater County programs aimed at preventing youth involvement in crime, as well as helping young offenders to reintegrate into their community. I currently support 75 mentees by empowering them to resolve current barriers and issues, helping them to develop coping strategies, and guiding them through the process of identifying and building upon their unique talents and strengths. I also accompany mentees to legal appointments and escort released offenders from institutions and custody facilities.

On the administrative side, I am familiar with preparing and implementing mentorship plans, advocating for and connecting mentees to appropriate resources and service referrals, maintaining attendance data, preparing progress reports, and working closely with legal, community, healthcare, government agencies, families, and other stakeholders.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Bachelor of Criminal Justice and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Youth Justice. I am willing and able to pass criminal and working with children background checks.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Max
