Due to gaps in funding and rising demand for our programs, youth may wait up to 18 months before they can be matched with a mentor. You can help us end the wait. Give a one-time gift or make it monthly to help us provide life-changing mentoring relationships to youth in need.
Your business can help us open doors to mentorship for our most vulnerable youth. Each $2,500 sponsorship opens one door, allowing us to match one child with one mentor. Show your clients, staff, and community how you’re investing in potential with your very own Door Ceremony video.
Did you know that gifts of securities are one of the most tax-effective ways to support us?

Host an Event or Fundraiser
From hosting a yoga class by donation to putting on a trivia night, fun and engaging events are a great way to generate meaningful support for our mentoring programs. It’s also an interactive way to show your support for local children and families. Have an idea for an event or fundraiser? We’d love to hear it!
