Program Details
Our 1:1 Mentorship program pairs caring adults with a child or teen they’ve connected with at camp or an event. As a friend and role model, mentors provide support, guidance, and consistency—helping youth build resilience, grow in confidence, and develop the social-emotional skills they need to thrive. This is a long-term commitment focused on creating relationships that transform lives.
