Friends for Youth
Through positive relationships with adult mentors and pro-social activities, Friends for Youth connects youth with healthy community relationships that provide protective factors for problems at school, substance abuse, negative peer relationships and delinquent behavior.
Our mission is to support Positive Youth Development for at-risk youth in the Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare systems by providing caring adult mentors, life-enriching experiences and enhanced community connections resulting in successful life transitions.
Our goal is to divert high-risk youth from entering or journeying further into the juvenile justice system by mentoring through friendship in the Spirit of Christ.
