Trusted Mentors welcomes Costeena Weathersby in her new role as Executive Director.

Costeena (Co-steena) was selected after a comprehensive search by the Trusted Mentors Board of Directors. Her professional background makes her well-suited to lead the nonprofit, Central Indiana’s best-known champion for adult mentoring. She is an experienced entrepreneur and well-versed in organizational leadership, team development, program development, and fundraising. She also has professional experience in social work, domestic violence, bullying and substance abuse.

Prior to taking the reins at Trusted Mentors, Costeena worked with Project Transformation Indiana, and spent more than 15 years in leadership roles with the Girl Scouts, at both the Eastern Missouri and Northern Indiana-Michiana councils.

She is a St. Louis native and a graduate of Concordia University Wisconsin with a Bachelor of Arts in Management and Communication. In her free time she enjoys traveling, dancing, cycling and exercise. She is also a proud Silver member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.

Trusted Mentors is responding to a vital need in our community. By providing volunteer mentors to adults at risk of homelessness, or to those re-entering the community after time in prison, we are breaking new ground in Indianapolis.

As we support these community members with sincere friendship and positive ideas, they stabilize their lives and they succeed in reaching their new goals. We mentor change – and it matters.
