Youth Mentoring Program

The Youth Mentoring Program "YMP" promotes the educational enrichment, vocational advancement, and social engagement of youth and young adults between the ages of 15-24 years old.

Who we serve: San Antonio Newcomers looking for career and educational opportunities in America. 

Being a Mentor will present opportunities to use your skills to impact another. Mentors have the ability to provide guidance, offer homework assistance, encourage a youth's future, and to support their acclimation to their new surroundings. The Youth Mentors will meet one-on-one with their mentees. Mentors and Mentees can meet based on the mentees approved schedule.
