Youth Mentoring Program
Connection Before Correction - Building meaningful relationships that guide young people toward their full potential.
What Is Youth Mentoring?
Our Youth Mentoring Program is the heart of New Breed of Youth. We pair system-involved youth ages 6-18 with dedicated adult mentors who serve as positive role models, advocates, and guides.
Mentors meet with their mentees regularly, building trust and rapport while helping them navigate challenges, set goals, and develop the skills they need to succeed.
Our approach focuses on "Connection Before Correction" - building genuine relationships that create lasting change.
