This organization and the people that work and volunteer with it are committed to the success of our youth and to providing access to resources that will broaden their opportunities as they grow up. The quality of the relationships that are built between mentors and mentees are life changing and long lasting. Additionally, a great deal of support is provided by the administration to ensure that the matches have what they need to succeed. Growing up with an incarcerated parent is rough, so having a safe space to be able to share dialogue and experiences with other youth and adults that listen with their hearts can make all of the difference.
