Hi there. I'm not sure how old your son is, but you could try contacting Big Brothers/Big Sisters to enroll him as a little. They operate local branches all over the U.S. I believe the criteria for boys is an absence of a male father-figure at home, but you may want to check with them for details.

I was a Big Sister in the program for years, mentoring a 10yr old girl. It was a unique and rewarding experience and would highly recommend the BBBS organization.

Hi,

I did a search for national mentoring programs and Mentor (http://www.mentoring.org/about_mentor) seems like it fits your sons needs. I do not have the answers to your other questions, but I'm sure if you contact Mentor they will be able to provide you with the appropriate information.

Another good resource would be your city's website. On my city's website, they've included volunteer opportunities that list mentoring programs. They might have local organizations that provide mentoring/mentee opportunities.

Good luck!
