Youth Connection- FSCAS

Goal: $1,500.00

Specific Need

You can help by donating to Youth Connection, where your contribution stays in your community to help sustain the important work of the program - matching mentors with local youth. If you don’t feel that donating money is something you can do there are many ways to get involved with Youth Connection.

One way is to donate your time and become a mentor! The program is seeking mentors throughout the community to provide a positive opportunity for local youth who would greatly benefit from the addition of a role model in their lives.There are many disadvantaged youth within our community on the waiting list whose lives would be transformed if they had the opportunity to be matched with a caring mentor. With the communities’ help, we hope every youth waiting for a mentor will find one soon.

Join the advisory committee, who is always in need of dedicated community volunteers. The advisory committee helps Youth Connection to serve more youth and oversee the overall growth and effectiveness of the program.

No action is too small to make a connection and change our community, one youth at a time.

Mission

Youth Connection is dedicated to instilling hope and empowering youth to reach their fullest potential.

Profile

Youth Connection makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Mentors”) and youth (“Mentees”). Youth Connection operates under the belief that inherent in every youth is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people assisting them to reach their highest potential as they grow into more confident and caring individuals in the community. Mentoring relationships also provide increased opportunities for the youth to participate in positive social and educational activities and encourage recognition and reinforcement of positive activities, behaviors, and attitudes.
