"I love being a Team Facilitator! There is so much value in helping mentors, the youth, and the foster parents plan team outings, brainstorm ideas, and reach their full potential. As a team facilitator, I can make a difference in the life of a foster youth, from my living room, in just an hour or two a week!"
Jessica Barber
Braid Facilitator
"It is such a joy mentoring through Braid Mission and being part of the Braid community. Braid's innovative team-based mentoring makes it possible to create a meaningful relationship with my mentee while having the flexibility to travel and attend to personal needs while my teammates keep up continuity meeting with our mentee. I have so many precious memories with my mentee and teammates over the years."

"My time with Braid has been incredibly rewarding, from the first orientation session to every hangout session with our youth. I've loved working with my teammates and coalescing around the mission to provide a safe, fun, and meaningful experience for our youth weekly."

"I've been a volunteer mentor at Braid Mission since 2018 for a very amazing and smart child. The team at Braid has always been hands on, extremely diligent and very kind with their support of all volunteers every step of the way."

"I moved back to the Bay Area in April of 2020 after a few years away and found a city struggling with the effects of the pandemic. After looking for ways to help my local community, with a focus on the most vulnerable, I came across Braid Mission. The work they do with children in the foster system is incredibly important in creating stability for those that lack it most. "
