Program Mission

Youth Mentoring Program strives to positively connect with at risk children and provide a mentoring relationship that serves as a role model & offers friendship, support, and an ally.

Service, Goals & Projects

HSU volunteers meet their mentees for several hours each week and spend time that is both engaging and entertaining. The pair may take in a movie, get something to eat, play sports, games, work on a project, or just talk.
