Making friends. Changing lives.

Mentoring Children of Promise (MCP)

The MCP Program matches community volunteers in friendship-based relationships with youth whose parents are in state or federal correction facilities. Volunteers use goal-oriented activities that teach skills to improve community success and school performance. Matches are professionally supported and monitored to make the youth's social and emotional well-being a priority.
