Youth Mentoring
Cada estudiante necesita a alguien de su lado.
The Challenge
Young people often carry heavy burdens on their own
Many students in our community face school stress, family difficulties, and tough decisions without consistent support. Without help, these challenges can build up, impacting their confidence, decision-making, and hope for the future.
Students with a mentor are 55% more likely to enroll in college. – National Mentoring Partnership

How Youth Mentoring makes a difference
Youth Mentoring provides middle and high school students with trusted mentors and a supportive peer community.
We help students feel known, valued, and supported as they grow into their future.
Students with mentors are more likely to attend school regularly and less likely to engage in risky behaviors
What it looks like
Students meet weekly in a group and are paired with a personal mentor. Together, they talk about school, life, and goals, keeping a steady rhythm of encouragement and real conversation.
The combination of broad community support and one-on-one mentoring creates a stable, positive environment where students can build the best possible future for themselves.
“There aren’t words big enough to describe what this has meant to me.”
- Aryanna, mentoring student
Youth mentoring gives teens a place to belong and to be loved.
