Flintridge Center's Youth of Promise program believes that youth who are supported can overcome barriers to success. We have a special need for men to mentor boys between the ages of 11-16. Are you interested in making an impact? Spending 5 hours a month developing a relationship with a child in our supportive program will make a world of difference for you, the child and the community. Make a difference - become a mentor.

About Flintridge Center

Mission Statement
To break the cycle of poverty and violence through community planning, innovation and action.
Description
Flintridge has been working in the Northwest Pasadena/ West Altadena community for over 30 years through a continuum of prevention and intervention programs with the goal of improving educational achievement, breaking down barriers to employment, and steering community members away from the cycle of crime, violence and incarceration.
Two of our main services are our mentoring and after school programs, which altogether serve more than 150 youth, who are at risk of dropping out of school or joining gangs, per year and our Apprenticeship Preparation Program, which prepares and supports previously incarcerated and gang impacted individuals for careers in the construction trades. Moreover, as the City of Pasadena's official Institutional Home for Community and Gang Violence Prevention/Intervention Programs and Positive Youth Development, Flintridge collaborates with local community partners to continuously develop and strengthen programs in response to the specific needs of our community.
