YOUTH MENTORSHIP
Some young people need someone in their corner who is not a parent and not a teacher. Our mentors are adults from this community who commit to showing up for the same young person, week after week, and who stay in touch when things get hard.
The same person each week
A mentor is matched to one young person and stays with them, so trust has time to build.
Adults from this community
Mentors are people from Brooklyn who know the streets these young people walk home on.
Built into what we already run
Mentoring happens alongside basketball and chess, so it fits into a young person's week instead of adding to it.
