What is a Mentee?
Our Youth Mentoring Program gives young people a safe, supportive place to connect with positive adult role models, make friends, try new things, learn new skills, and discover their potential.
Through group mentoring, participants take part in activities, conversations, educational opportunities, field trips, community service, and other experiences designed to help them learn, grow, and thrive.
The program is year-long and provides ongoing opportunities for youth to build positive relationships with adults and peers while developing skills that can help them succeed at school, at home, and in their communities.
