What is Mentoring Plus?
Mentoring Plus is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive support and guidance to at-risk youth between the ages of 13 and 18. Operating through referrals from local juvenile justice offices, schools, and community organizations, the program offers intensive case management services. Each teen engages in a minimum twelve-month commitment, developing a Coordinated Care Plan (CCP) that addresses individual needs, strengths, and specific service requirements. The core of the Mentoring Plus model involves matching teens with volunteer mentors, referred to as Life Coaches, for weekly structured activities and one-on-one sessions focused on crucial life skills, education, and career preparation. The organization emphasizes family stability as a critical factor in youth success, often addressing broader family needs such as housing and employment to create a supportive environment for change.
