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!
