We encourage and support youth in their pursuit of a brighter future. 

We seek to change the lives of youth facing adversity. Our focus on innovative approaches to mentoring and learning helps inspire all students and we are extremely appreciative of all who are involved in accomplishing our mission. Mentoring has shown to improved children’s chances of academic and social success.

Children and youth who are mentored as less likely to be involved with gangs, violence, teen pregnancy, and alcohol and drug use. They are also more likely to do better academically, have better attitudes towards school, have better school attendance and an increased likelihood of going on to higher education.
