Mission: to promote a safe environment in which at-risk youth can develop & flourish through: friendship & commitment, mentoring & role modeling, education & guidance, and family support.
Metro Denver Partners matches adult volunteer mentors with high-risk youth in 1:1 mentoring relationships. We ask that our mentors commit to spending an average of three hours per week with the child they are matched with for at least a year. All youth are referred to our program by community professionals who recognize their need for an adult role model, friend and advocate. Youth must be willing participants and have the support of their parent(s) or guardian.
Metro Denver Partners has several program components.
Denver Diversion: Matches youth, ages 10-17, who have had past involvement with the juvenile justice system.
Adams County Prevention Program: Matches youth, ages 8-12, coming from families with a history of substance abuse.
Youth Mentoring Collaborative Program: Matches youth, ages 8-17 who are TANF (Temporary Aid To Needy Families) eligible or are experiencing homelessness.
Adolescent Females Program: Matches girls, ages 10-14, and provides them with year-long, weekly group meetings, emphasizing support, life-skills and role modeling.
Northeast Denver Tutoring Program: Provides boys and girls in grades 3-5 with weekly after school tutoring.
