Mentoring programs across America have helped millions of youth succeed in school, prevent truancy, avoid alcohol and drugs, build self-esteem and find their place in society. Lexington youth need this chance to grow and excel in life.

Mentoring is a gift of time, patience and caring you can give to a youth today. Our mentoring program has youth from 6-17 years old wanting and needing one-on-one adult time. Many of their parents are single working parents who would appreciate another adult role model in their child's lives.

Let's give our youth the opportunity to soar!

For more information, call Nettie Mitmesser at 859-977-2524
