Safe Yakima Valley Mentoring Program
Our vision at Safe Yakima Valley Youth Mentoring is to enhance the academic, social, and emotional growth of Yakima County youth through meaningful connections with mentors.
Positive youth development research has long demonstrated that elevated-risk youth benefit from mentoring. Our mentoring program matches responsible and caring mentors with elevated-risk mentees/youth ages 10-17 in Yakima County. Mentoring provides youth with mentors who can provide support, guidance, and opportunities to help youth meet their goals and succeed in life!
