YOUTH AT RISK
Volunteer Appreciation Day 2008
Youth at Risk (YAR) is a not-for-profit, volunteer driven organization committed to transforming the chaotic lives of young people through persistent and compassionate mentoring.
Since 1985, Youth at Risk (YAR) has committed to transforming the lives of disadvantaged youth who exhibit maladaptive behaviors such as truancy, violence, gang membership, physical and verbal violence, and at-risk sexual activity.
Their mission is to decrease the at-risk behavior of youth and to enhance the effectiveness of the people who live and work with them. Youth At Risk currently provides both prevention and intervention services.
I was lucky enough to be a part of this great organization when i was younger and it helped me immensely..
An integral part of all Youth At Risk programs is the adult volunteer who becomes a Mentor. Volunteers are trained using a specific and effective curriculum, designed by us, to maximize each young person’s chance to succeed. The Committed Partner Mentor develops a one-on-one relationship to support youth, identify their needs, and declare personal projects with timelines.
To gain a better understanding, you should attend one of their weekly First Orientation Sessions and learn more about Youth at Risk's mission and the expectations of being a mentor.
