We are Shaping Brighter Futures, One Child at a Time
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. It is the goal and result of all of the programs, events, activities and other opportunities we provide to these underprivileged children.
