Gun violence, economic insecurity, unequal access to education, and limited mental health resources are just some of the pressing issues young people face across Virginia, with Black and Hispanic communities experiencing these challenges most acutely. These issues not only affect the day-to-day lives of youth, but also shape their futures. As a mentor, YOU have the power to make a meaningful, and lasting difference in the lives of young people.
On January 21st, we teamed up with 7 different mentoring programs in Central Virginia for this virtual “Back to School Mentor Open House.” Our goal is to help match volunteer mentors with young people at nonprofit organizations currently on waiting lists this school year.
