Are you a caring man 19 or older who wants to help change the life of a male "at-risk" Atlanta youth? Join YES!Atlanta as a Committed Partner mentor.
For a year, you will be the "wall" around your teen's up-front commitments to his personal growth. You will get together for at least one hour per week doing what you both enjoy, while communicating at other times by phone or social media. Your relationship will certainly give your Youth a chance to Experience Success.
Experience has shown that you’ll get more than you give by participating!
YES!Atlanta has worked with nearly 1,000 teens since its founding in 1988. See our web site www.yesatlanta.org for full information.

Mission Statement
YES!Atlanta enrolls "at-risk" inner-city teens and supports them with long-term mentoring by trained adult mentors recruited from throughout our city. Our goal is to have participants graduate from high school, while reducing or eliminating self-defeating behavior that hinders their maturing into fulfilled, responsible and productive members of their community.
Description
YES!Atlanta's Rising Star Program was created in 1990. Targeting inner city teenagers, Rising Star is a year-long mentoring program that supports participants in fulfilling goals they set for themselves upon entering the program. We were named a "Point of Light" by President George H. W. Bush, in honor of the effectiveness of our work with teenagers. Since its creation Rising Star has worked with nearly 1,000 youngsters to open new possibilities in their lives and end their hopelessness about their future.
