Together for You develops young people into healthy, confident, purpose-driven leaders through mentorship, wellness, leadership development, innovation, and opportunity. These are the initiatives we're building to make that real.
A relationship-centered mentoring initiative connecting young people with caring, trained, and vetted adults who provide guidance, encouragement, accountability, support, and exposure to new opportunities. Trusting relationships are the foundation everything else is built on.
Need a Mentor?
Youth ages 12–24, families, schools, and partners can request a mentor and support. All services are free.
Background check required. All mentors must successfully complete screening, training, and background checks prior to being matched with youth. Safety is never optional.
