TO MAKE A GENERATIONAL CHANGE

This is your opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people, their families, and future generations.  

One mentee, Bailey, shared, “I just needed someone to talk to. I know my friends feel the same way.” He said there was no one there for him, “except my mentor”, to listen and offer insight through the crucial times of his life. He had lost hope in school and with his family, and his friendships were taking him down the wrong path. But, his life changed for good through his mentor, who helped him feel valued and encouraged. Bailey is like so many other young people today.  Studies show that

More than 35% of young people

say they do not have a positive adult in their lives but would like one.

Why Youth Mentoring Needs Funding
Mentoring has been proven to be a preventive tool in helping young people establish identity, learn new skills, discover their true potential, and set goals to achieve success and find joy.

As we are adding new chapters regularly, feel free to identify the community you’d like your donation to apply to, or mark it “greatest need” and we will direct it to help newer chapters in need.
