Mentoring a teen can bring both of you a lifetime of rewards.
We call our mentors "Committed Partners" because of the close relationship you will develop with your assigned teenager - both of you working to assure graduation from high school, while reducing or eliminating self-defeating behavior patterns. In return for your one year commitment, you will make a big difference in your youth's life - and your own.
Coaching for Success has been YES!Atlanta's partnership with the Fulton County Juvenile Court since 1993. We have just expanded into the Villages at Carver community south of Turner Field, and are adding a third site (visit our webpage!)

Mission Statement
YES!Atlanta enrolls "at-risk" inner-city teens and supports them with long-term mentoring by trained adult mentors recruited from throughout our city. Our goal is to have participants graduate from high school, while reducing or eliminating self-defeating behavior that hinders their maturing into fulfilled, responsible and productive members of their community.
Description
YES!Atlanta's Rising Star Program was created in 1990. Targeting inner city teenagers, Rising Star is a year-long mentoring program that supports participants in fulfilling goals they set for themselves upon entering the program. We were named a "Point of Light" by President George H. W. Bush, in honor of the effectiveness of our work with teenagers. Since its creation Rising Star has worked with nearly 1,000 youngsters to open new possibilities in their lives and end their hopelessness about their future.
