Partners (Northern Colorado)

Our mission is to empower youth and community members to achieve their full potential through mentoring, prevention education, and strategic partnership.

Our mentoring programs aim to enrich the lives of the participating youth, as well as the volunteers who mentor them. Over the past 44 years, we have grown to serve more than 500 youth each year though our community-based and school-based mentoring programs . And each year we aim to grow our reach and empower more youth. Our mentors volunteer thousands of hours each year building strong relationships and supporting youth who need it most. 

We focus on ensuring we are providing the best possible services for our youth by providing research-based programs that follow best practices in youth mentoring. We collect data from our partnerships for our annual evaluation to ensure our programs make a difference—and they do! After one year in our programs, youth with mentors gain relationship and interpersonal skills, more confidence, improved attitudes about substance use, and hope for the future.
