Foster & At-risk youth
A foster child is a young person placed in the care of a family or guardian other than their biological parents due to issues like neglect or abuse. They often face instability and may need extra support to succeed. An at-risk youth is in danger of harm or self-harm and needs help.
While every child can benefit from a positive adult influence, foster youth, and at-risk youth must have a mentor. A mentor could be the lifeline that prevents these vulnerable individuals from becoming unfortunate statistics.
A mentor is a trusted friend who helps a younger person, providing guidance and support. Research shows that at-risk children with supportive mentors are less likely to face issues and more likely to excel academically.
Studies show that youth who have a strong bond with a trusted and helpful mentor are far less likely to get into trouble and far more likely to do well in their school work.
Regrettably, many young people face dangers like broken homes and substance abuse without proper support. In times of need, who will listen and provide guidance to these youth? Just an hour a week will change a life. Get in touch with us today.
Young adults
Young adults navigating their way through life often encounter challenges that traditional education does not equip them for. Anxiety frequently acts as an invisible barrier hindering their ability to lead fulfilling lives.
It is easy to misinterpret the effects of these factors as disinterest or laziness when individuals are actually immobilized by it, struggling to communicate their emotions and complete tasks.
Various forms of anxiety, such as communication anxiety, test anxiety, performance anxiety, and agoraphobia, can have detrimental effects on school, work, relationships with friends and family.

At-risk Families
Families facing economic hardship or other difficulties may feel trapped in their circumstances, unsure of how to improve their situation. Many struggle due to long-standing generational challenges that persist within their family. While resources are available to assist them, some may feel ineligible or embarrassed to seek help.
A family mentor serves as a beacon of hope for the entire family, offering support and guidance to help them see beyond their current struggles. By walking alongside them during difficult times, the mentor can significantly influence their journey by helping them realize that despite facing challenges, their aspirations and future possibilities are not lost.
Mentoring programs can help build strong relationships through role models, social support, and learning new skills. Home visiting programs allow health professionals or volunteers to support at-risk families directly in their homes. These programs often focus on new mothers and parenting issues but may not address larger problems that affect a family’s overall health and happiness.
Family mentoring programs can help fill this gap. They focus on important areas like housing, jobs, health, and finances. By doing this, mentoring aims to break the cycle of poverty and help parents and families succeed.
