Youth Mentoring Connection

Youth Mentoring Connection awakens at-risk youth to their power, unique gifts and purpose. Our programs throughout the Los Angeles area provide our youth with a vital sense of belonging by matching youth with caring adult mentors and providing matches with supportive and dynamic group activities.
