Youth Participants

Youth are referred to us by parents, friends, counselors, or anyone else in their life who feels they need a mentor. They must be between the ages of 8 and 16. We interview them and their parents to understand their personality and interests and any special needs. They are encouraged to commit to the relationship for one year. We want them to share their ideas with their mentors as they keep an open mind to new ideas too.
