Mentoring We match our youth with a one-on-one volunteer mentor. The mentor offers critical support during the youth's stay in the juvenile facility and throughout his re-entry into the community.
Advocacy Mentoring Today’s staff attorneys advocate for mentees to receive the education, employment, housing, and mental health services they need, while also fighting instances of systemic injustice.
Our mentors are superheroes!

Family Engagement Behind every mentee is a family, and Mentoring Today strives to incorporate that family into all of our services. We reach out to the families of our youth to help caregivers understand the re-entry process and better participate in their child’s re-entry services.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore-- And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet?
