Our Method
Impacting generational change by empowering youth who are facing the greatest obstacles through relationships with professional mentors – 12+ years, no matter what.
We pair youth facing the toughest systemic barriers with a professional mentor.
Our mentors, who are full-time, salaried staff, support youth to be prepared for post-secondary education and/or employment; develop positive goals for the future; and develop a healthy lifestyle.
Our Model
We commit to each child for the long-term.
We select youth ages 4 to 6 who face the toughest systemic barriers and pair them professional mentors who spend an average of 16 intentional hours per month developing goals and participating in activities to build life skills. We commit to each child for 12+ years, no matter what.
