YouthFriends is a school-based mentoring effort that links caring adult volunteers from the community with students in schools and is open to all students, grades K-12, within participating school districts. All activities take place on school grounds before, during or after school hours. YouthFriends volunteers typically visit a school for one hour each week to do things like have lunch with a student, help with reading or academic tutoring, share an interest or a hobby or simply listen.

Mentor
Meet and talk with a student one hour a week throughout the school year.

Special Projects
YouthFriends actively encourages the development of any new program that links positive adult role models from the community to students in our schools.
