Connect & Thrive Mentoring Program
Connect & Thrive Youth Mentoring is a Mentor Washington-accredited program. Connect & Thrive Youth Mentoring serves youth ages 12–17 across Island County. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime — weekly quests alongside your Quest Guide, earned badges, and a journey of self-discovery that will transform you into a Risorian.
Become a Quest Hero
The realm of Risoria calls for brave souls.
Ancient forces have unsettled the realm and only those willing to do the inner work can restore it. Guided by your personal Quest Guide, you will travel through the realms of Risoria — facing challenges, discovering hidden strengths, unlocking your Inner Flame, and earning your place among the Risorians who came before you.
This is not just a mentoring program. This is your Hero's Journey.
To begin your quest, you must:
-
Be between 12 and 17 years old
-
Live in Island County
-
Commit to two 90-minute sessions per month with your Quest Guide
-
Have a parent or guardian participate once per quarter
Become a Quest Guide
Every hero needs a guide.
As a Quest Guide, you will walk alongside one young hero through the realms of Risoria — helping them discover their strengths, build their inner tools, and claim their identity as a Risorian. No experience required. Just a commitment to showing up.
To become a Quest Guide, you must:
-
Be at least 21 years old
-
Pass a background check
-
Complete Quest Guide training
-
Commit to 3 hours per month
