Southwest Key Youth Mentoring Program

Description

WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING VOLUNTEER MENTORS FOR THE YOUTH. Southwest Key Programs was recently awarded a $1 million grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency and Prevention (OJJDP) to expand our youth mentoring program to five major cities, including Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Our program provides a combination of One-on-One and Group Mentoring to youth between the ages of 10-17 years old who are involved or at risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system and are especially vulnerable to engaging in high-risk behaviors that jeopardize their futures because their life circumstances include the risk factors of poverty, lack of positive role models, and the negative influence of peers.
