In Brief
Unite for Youth, a non-profit agency that provides mentoring programs for high school and middle school students in the Greater Claremont region, is called Unite for Youth. The program will create partnerships with local school districts, the juvenile court system, and other organizations. Unite for Youth’s mission is to create a community of young people who will foster pro-social friendships and strong interpersonal skills. They also hope to reaffirm their faith in the future. A sense of individual responsibility can only be restored through interpersonal relationships. This will allow youth to take ownership of their future and feel proud of what they have accomplished.
After repeated failures at school and the development of harmful habits, at-risk teens have lost faith that they can achieve their goals if they succeed in putting their lives back together. In order to achieve this goal, young adults must be in a nurturing, inclusive learning environment where they can give their best effort and show respect.
Unite for Youth, a program designed to help young people who are either not able to attend school or have been involved with the juvenile courts system, is an initiative. The program’s goal is to identify young people who will face a difficult transition into adulthood and provide positive support to help them avoid any pitfalls. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.
Unite for Youth will primarily focus on middle school youths. The system expects that half of its students will be in middle schools within three years. This age group is especially problematic and provides the perfect opportunity for mentoring to be successful.
Unite for Youth’s mentoring programs will pair a youth with mentor for 12 months. They will then participate in weekly planned activities designed to strengthen their relationship and boost the young person’s hopefulness and confidence. Mentors will be provided with ongoing training and will report on the progress of the young person at a monthly meeting.
Unite for Youth, over time, will become a resource for young people as well as mentors and the larger community.
