Creating and supporting schools that are both physically and psychologically safe for our kids.
We are a grassroots, positive youth development, non-profit organization. Our main focus is on a one-to-one, community-based mentoring program for youth in the 4th-8th grades. We pair a child with a volunteer mentor and they spend at least one hour per week together for one year. The match is focused on having fun and developing appropriate social skills, but significant positive impacts are made on the youth's school attendance and academic performance as a result of the relationship with their mentor.
If you'd like to find out more about how to become a mentor, please Facebook message, call or e-mail us.
We are privately funded through grants, individual and business donations and fundraising. If you'd like to support us with a donation, our mailing address is PO Box 243, Klamath Falls, OR 97601.
