Caring mentors help adolescents face every-day challenges,

find opportunities, and take control of their future.

Adolescent years can be challenging for young people and their parents.

Youth Mentoring at Colonial CASA connects youth ages 10-18

with adult mentors to support everyday challenges, build life skills, and have a good time.

  What’s involved?

Mentors and mentees meet one-on-one weekly in the community with focus on developing trusting relationships and exploring opportunities and interests. Schedules and activities are decided by each mentoring match. Mentor training, mentee orientation, and on-going support are provided.
