    ABOUT Youth Mentoring Connection

    YMC is a mentoring-driven community developed to awaken young adults from at-risk regions to their power, unique gifts, and purpose by matching them with caring adult mentors and placing that pair within a structured group dynamic that builds the emotional resiliency skills and confidence in adolescents to self-actualize into adulthood.

    Instructions:

    We believe that when a caring adult mentor shows up for a young person in a consistent way, they change two lives. Our Gift Centered Mentoring model allows for the healing to begin, as Mentors walk in the path together with their Mentee. We only ask Mentors for four hours a month - you show up, be real, and YMC takes care of the rest.

    Prospective Mentors complete our screening process, including an application and interview, then are invited to Training, and paired with a Mentee in our program launching during the same start date.
