What sets our youth mentoring services apart from other programs is our intentional matching process, ensuring every Big and Little has common interests and each match is set up for long-lasting success. We provide high-quality professional support throughout the entirety of every mentor relationship. And our process works! The average length of community-based mentor relationships is 3 years.
When you help fund a match, you empower potential.
