The Mentoring Program will be maintained through private
donations, and corporatesponsorships. With our nonprofit
status (501c3) we will actively pursue federal, state, and local
grants to help maintain this at-risk youth program.
Youth talent shows, and community outreach events, will help
raise awareness for our afterschool, and summer camp services.
The local media will be utilized to request donations, locate
volunteers, and to inform families about our youth mentoring
services.
Our client base is children from 6 to 17 years of age. Over 85%
of the participants will come from low income and/or single
parent households. About 25% of our participants are referred
by family service agencies, and about 10% of the children may
have learning or behavioral disabilities.
