Help Our Cause

Right now, 1 in 3 children and adolescents will grow-up without a mentor of any kind, yet we know that young people who have a mentor are much more likely to participate in after-school activities, be leaders in clubs and teams, volunteer and go on to college. Your gift helps increase our country’s capacity to provide quality mentoring relationships to the more than 9 million at-risk youth who lack a positive caring role model we know they need! Help us close the mentoring gap in America.

• BECOME A MENTOR

Few bonds in life are more influential than those between a young person and an adult. At its most basic level, mentoring helps because it guarantees a young person that there is someone who cares about them. A child is not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges. But, mentoring doesn’t just affect the young person. Mentoring is a shared opportunity for learning and growth. Many mentors say that the rewards they gain are as substantial as those for their mentees. Learn more about becoming a mentor and find a mentoring program in your area.

• BECOME AN ADVOCATE

Public policy that supports quality mentoring programs is vital to ensuring that mentoring is leveraged as a strategy in all areas of youth development. Legislators listen to the views of their constituents. That means YOU have the power to influence the outcome of legislation, simply by communicating your views to your legislators.
