For the past 20 years, Partners Mentoring Youth has helped Northern Colorado celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This 5K race is in downtown Fort Collins brings over 2,000 individuals together in support of mentoring.
Your volunteer support directly benefits local youth through the power of one-to-one mentoring for those who don't always have identified role models in their lives. As a thank you, each volunteer will receive our unending gratitude, a free cotton tshirt, and a 50% code for one race registration sign up so you can encourage someone in your life who would benefit from participating in this fun 5k event.
We hope you will consider BEING THE DIFFERENCE in the lives of local youth!
We can be flexible on your volunteer role depending on what best meets the needs of your group. We have availability for runner check in support, event set up/take down, or water station volunteers.

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.
