Do you speak Spanish and want to get more involved in the local community?
Our Volunteers: We need YOU to make a difference in the life of a youth who wants to transform their life. As a mentor with New Pathways for Youth, you will contribute to ending the cycle of poverty and violence in our community through a mentoring relationship.
Our volunteer mentors are caring, consistent adults who commit to seeing their youth three times a month for at least a year. One of these visits is to attend a workshop at our community center, where our youth learn social and emotional skills and set achievable goals for themselves with the support of their mentor. The other two outings are up to your youth’s goals and your creativity.
Our Youth: Our youth come from backgrounds of extreme poverty and homelessness and need the support of a stable adult in their lives. New Pathways for Youth seeks to partner these amazing youth with caring adult mentors through our transformative mentoring program.
Our Program: Our evidence-based training and curriculum ensures that this is an effective 1-on-1 relationship for the youth and the mentor. The results are pretty extraordinary - after participating in our program, 75% of our youth pursue post-secondary education! Most of our families are Spanish speaking, so you can connect with these youth and families in a unique way.
Learn More: If you’d like to learn more about how to get involved, please contact Haley Beckstrand, Mentor Recruiter, at hbeckstrand@npfy.org.

Mission Statement
Transforming the lives of youth by providing the support, stability, and skills they need to flourish in the community and in their families.
Description
In the communities we serve, young people experience poverty and 3 times the adversity of their peers. Beyond the instability and insecurity that makes it difficult to meet their most basic needs, these youth experience social, emotional, and cognitive obstacles that bar them from living the joyful, purposeful life that every young person deserves.
We are changing that. We are building a future where every young person can live their life with joy and purpose, confident in their ability to decide their own path.
To make it happen, we provide 1:1 mentoring with a dedicated adult and a proven program for personal growth, including tailored goal setting and connection to vital resources, all within a supportive peer group. In doing so, we're transforming the lives of youth by providing the support, stability, and skills they and their families need to flourish.
Our holistic, research-based program is proven to generate remarkable outcomes for the youth we serve - from improved mental health and personal wellness to academic success and greater high school graduation rates. We give them the tools and resources to not only achieve safe, healthy lives, but find fulfilling career paths, seize new opportunities, and enhance their relationships with their families, peers, and all those around them.
When our youth experience the support and personal development that our program offers, they feel unstoppable - and that spirit extends beyond the self to impact their family, community, and the world around them.
