The program partners with local businesses and community organizations to inflict change.

Once a month, mentors and young people venture out to offer support to individuals, local small businesses and organizations that need assistance.

We create, build and sustain relationships with community members by offering support where needed.


Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis offers youth the chance to connect through the process of group mentoring.

Trained mentors and young people participate in a structured program of support.

An essential aspect of the mentoring process is the social-emotional learning that occurs with our youth.
