Please visit the new page to apply.
You don't need to have all the time in the world or be a superhero to be a kid's role-model.
All you have to do to make a difference is share your passions and interests with a kid for a couple of hours a month.
Be a friend, an advocate, and a mentor to a kid, and pass on what you know to the next generation. They need it.
Mentoring is a well-documented and effective strategy in positive youth development. After a year in our program, our youth show a(an):
- Increase in academic achieve
- Increase in self-esteem and self-confidence
- Less delinquent behavior and drug use
- Stronger bonds with adults other than their parents
- Increase in ability to plan for the future

Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower youth and community members to achieve their full potential through mentoring, prevention education, and strategic partnership.
Description
We are the most comprehensive one-to-one youth mentoring program in Northern Colorado, exceptional at matching and supporting mentoring relationships with positive volunteer mentors and youth who need extra support.
Mentoring is a well-documented prevention strategy for positive youth development. Consistent with national research behind mentoring, we know that our mentoring programs work. Our evaluation results show that after just one year in our mentoring program, our youth have:
- Greater sense of hope
- Increased self-esteem
- Increased academic achievement
- Less delinquent behavior and substance use
Our youth, boys and girls ages 7-17, are referred by professionals in the community (school counselors, therapists, etc.) because they are experiencing circumstances that put them at risk of not reaching their full potential in life (poverty, abuse, mental health issues, family instability, etc.) They are great kids with a great potential to succeed, but need a little extra support.
We always need more mentors for our youth--we typically have 60-100 kids on our waitlist, eager to get matched with a mentor. Please consider BEING the difference in the life of a local youth.
