Program Offered Milagro's volunteers foster nurturing, supportive, intergenerational relationships that are essential in building self-esteem in these children. Through the program, the children are more able to adequately deal with the factors that classify them as at-risk with mentors who are trained to address and focus on emotional and educational deficiencies. Milagro's Program offers an innovative facet to after-school programming by connecting youth with mentors, providing positive role models in children's lives, which can enhance all aspects of their development and leave a lasting memory that is forever treasured. Population Served All of the currently enrolled students are ages 5-10 and are considered 'at-risk' due to different circumstances including, but not limited to low-income, high-crime area, single-parent family, troubled home environment, latch-key home, academic deficiencies and family history of substance abuse and violence.
