Opening Doors for Kids in our Community
Gaps in funding for our programs mean that we are not able to match every child in need with a mentor. Right now, there are more than 150 children on our waitlist – and many young people wait a year or more to begin their mentoring journeys.
Your business can help us open doors to mentorship for our community’s most vulnerable youth. Each $2,500 sponsorship opens one door. If we reach our goal of 75 doors, we can match 75 children on our waitlist with the mentors they have been hoping for.
You Can Unlock the Potential of Youth
For youth facing adversity, mentorship is the key to an empowered future. A consistent, caring relationship with a trusted adult opens the door to potential for vulnerable youth.
While our mentors volunteer their time, the process of recruiting, screening, training, and supporting these volunteers is costly. Each match costs $2,500 to achieve in our area. Every door opened by a local business allows us to help one more child in need of mentorship.
