Youth Mentoring in Mid-Columbia

Forge Youth Mentoring strives to connect generations to restore hope in our communities and to help young people discover and pursue their full potential. We do this by bringing two worlds together through the power of mentorship. Adult mentors have the opportunity to learn from and pour into young people who desperately need their support. Through mentoring, youth are able to overcome adversity to pursue their dreams, goals, and passions.

Armando Ramirez

Chapter Director for Mid-Columbia

Armando experienced a very difficult childhood, but thanks to two mentors coming into his life, he began to realize that he was worthy of love and that he could achieve great things. Through the years he has used those experiences and lessons, as well as his leadership and translation skills, to help many people. Armando began volunteering for FORGE in 2019 and joined our staff a year later. His strengths and passion have helped develop every aspect of the program, including recruitment, mentor and volunteer training, and connection to Spanish speaking populations.
