What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Step Up Mentoring Program
Clients are able to meet one-on-one with a trained volunteer to receive education, support, and resources. Clients can choose topics to focus on such as parenting skills, healthy relationships, spirituality, and more. Educational DVDs and curriculum provide information on these topics, in addition to information that volunteers can offer. Ultimately, the goal of the Step Up Mentoring Program is to provide clients with a safe space to discuss issues in their lives and find ways to work towards health and growth.
