Description
We are a non-profit that has been helping our community since 1971 in South Lake Tahoe and 2005 in Gardnerville.
Our Douglas County Community-based Mentoring Program pairs youth with a caring mentor. Mentors will take their mentees to experience many new things and also old favorite activities. Tahoe Youth & Family Services offers monthly excursions to places like Kirkwood (skiing/boarding), the hot springs, roller skating, baseball games, museums, hikes, Lake Tahoe beaches and more!!
All activities are planned in the spirit of prevention. We want our community's youth to be shown clean recreational alternatives to the use of drugs and/or alcohol. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
