Youth Mentoring
Youth thrive with support from a caring mentor who notices them – and their potential. Boys & Girls Club mentors help kids grow into confident, capable adults. With more than 264,000 trained staff and volunteers, we provide caring guidance and support to millions of kids and teens across America in order to help them grow into confident, capable adults.
The National Youth Mentoring Initiative administered through the Department of Justice recognizes the positive impact mentors can have on a young person’s life and supports efforts by Boys & Girls Clubs to provide positive adult mentors to help kids and teens have a brighter future. Having steady, positive influences at key times in a child’s life can lead to increased confidence and self-esteem, improved academic performance and relationships, and can help a child realize their true potential.
