Thank you for your interest in youth mentoring!
Did you know that 37% of students in Denver area schools will not graduate and 42% of Denver's homeless population is under the age of 18? These statistics are alarming, but there is a way to help our community's at-risk youth. Caring, adult mentors are needed to spend quality time with young people who need their support. Mentoring provides encouragement that helps kids avoid risky activities and lifestyle choices.
No special skills needed, just a few hours a month of quality time will make a difference. Mentoring can be as simple as doing homework, going to the park or sharing an ice cream. Research shows that mentored youth have improved academic performance and are less likely to become involved in risky behavior.
