Be a positive role model in a child's life! Help change their future! Our mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need us the most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The mentor program offers opportunities for volunteers to partner with youth one on one to aid them in positive growth. This program is extremely important for our youth because it guarantees there is someone there who cares and that they are not alone in their day-to-day challenges. It allows our youth to have a trusted adult to confide in and receive guidance as they transition into adulthood. Many of our youth are waiting to meet their mentor today!

Description
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Contra Costa currently reaches over 1,000 youth aged 6-18 through its various programs.
Our club teaches through word and deed, the importance of living honorably. Through programs, activities and everyday interactions, our club reinforces service and selflessness, caring and compassion, honesty and integrity, freedom and fairness, inclusion and diversity, right and wrong. In today’s world, success is often defined in terms of educational achievement, in the sense of acquiring knowledge. Although important and part of the club experience, what matters most is not the acquisition of knowledge alone, but teaching young people to live honorable lives.
Our youth development philosophy is the way our professionals communicate and interact with young people to build them up with: a sense of belonging, competence, usefulness and influence.
