The Champions Mentoring
Mentoring with a strong culture driven approach.
The Champions is an individualized mentoring program that targets minority populations and troubled youth. Working alongside schools, local probation departments and community organizations the program aims to provide a natural support in positive youth development. Using strong, culture driven approaches, a non-stigmatized relationship is established. The program also aims to harness the power and voices of youth so they can advocate for themselves and also others. It guides them into eventually moving forward into policy changing civic leadership roles.
The Champions provides whatever is needed for each specific situation including youth advocacy, family mediation, prevention as well as providing families and youth with a community resource connection. All the while participants are encouraged to become community activists and empowered advocates.
