The new Monroe County Veteran Treatment Court is searching for veterans to fill the roll of Volunteer Veteran Mentors.
Volunteer Mentors act as coach, guide, role model, advocate, and a support for the individual with whom he or she is working. This will in-clude listening to concerns and making suggestions, assisting the participant, determining needs, reminding the participant of his or her responsibilities in civilian life and to the court, and to provide support in a way that only another veteran would understand.
The mentor must be a veteran, guard/reserve or active duty member of one of the branches of the United States Military: Navy, Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, or the corresponding re-serve branches. Veterans who have a dishonorable or bad conduct discharge are not normally eligible, but those with exceptional success stories are welcome to apply.
