Connecting Youth

Your child can develop a supportive relationship with another adult, share interests and skills, and learn new ones. We match young people with an adult mentor based on shared interests and hobbies. The pair meets 3–4 times per month doing things like taking a walk, getting a creemee, playing a game, kayaking, and whatever else they both enjoy doing! As a parent or guardian you're involved in every step of the process from the selection of the mentor to activities and events.
