Work Directly With Children & Youth
Guardian Scholars
Guardian Scholars youth ages 18 and over are paired with mentors who provide support, love, and guidance.
Identity Group Coach- Identity groups connect youth with shared cultural or identity backgrounds to community coaches who provide guidance and support in helping them understand and embrace who they are. Current groups include: Black Group, Latinx Group, LGBTQIA+ Group, and Parenting Group.
Camp Connect
Events – Monthly events and outings give siblings living apart in care a chance to make lasting memories with their brothers and sisters. Help cultivate a fun and safe environment.
Summer Camp – A 6-day/5-night camp to experience the joy of being a kid while youth connect with their siblings and peers.
Mentoring
One on One Children’s Mentoring- Mentoring matches children 5 and up who are healing from their past trauma, with mentors who will listen, support, and guide them, as they navigate childhood. Mentors are essential to helping children thrive and achieve their goals, while overcoming challenges caused by past abuse they endured through no fault of their own.
