About Us
We are a youth development organization providing at-risk youth with educational, emotional, and spiritual skills for success through long-term mentoring relationships.
We collaborate with individuals and groups in the community to increase awareness of kids' resilience and to support their success. Save Our Youth mentors bring experience, compassion, and time to provide kids a caring advocate by their side.
