Our Mission
Youth Guidance is dedicated to enriching the lives of Indian River County youth through
mentoring relationships that inspire trust, self-esteem and positive futures.
 

Youth Guidance is a community-based mentoring program. The centerpiece of our effort is the mentoring relationship between adult and child. We deeply believe – and experience has shown us – that a meaningful mentoring relationship has the potential in changing a child’s life. 

​When a child enrolls in Youth Guidance, there are a variety of life skills and vocational training programs available, such as: cooking, sewing, dance, sports, computer graphics, 3D modeling & printing, technology, woodworking, bicycle repair, boat repair, farming, Pre-Apprenticeship, and more!

​Youth Guidance programs are all designed to bring children and adults into each others’ lives and to ignite
a relationship that matures into a bond founded in friendship, exchange, trust and reliance.

We engage, entertain and educate!
