Mission Statement
The Mission of GoodGuides™: To empower youth to make positive choices that enable them to maximize their current and future potential.
Description
By engaging youth in positive activities with adults who are strong role models, youth receive the encouragement and support they need to maximize their potential. GoodGuides™ engages adult volunteers who are expected to commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young person for a period of at least one year. By becoming part of the social network of adults and community members who care about the youth, the mentor can help youth develop and reach positive academic, career, and personal goals. The program is designed to divert youth from the juvenile justice system and support them in making positive choices, contributing to the community, and exploring healthy career choices.
