Community Based Mentoring
Established in 1982, our community-based mentoring program offers one-to-one and couple mentoring. The program takes place between a carefully screened adult and a youth, meeting at a time that fits their schedule. On average, meetings typically occur once a week. Our matches also meet virtually via a variety of technology platforms.
