Youth 1:1 Mentoring

This program provides services to young people experiencing significant emotional and behavioral disorders. Mentors are recruited, trained and supported while they provide long-term (minimum of one year) friendship to their match. Group events are scheduled throughout the year to enhance the experience. Interpersonal, intrapersonal and school improvements are core goals.

The Rochester program has been the model for new services throughout the U.S. Public Private Ventures, a non-profit organization funded by the U.S. Department of Education and Mentoring Policy, selected this Compeer youth program as one of the 16 most effective youth mentoring programs nationwide. 150 young people in the Rochester area currently benefit from the program.
