Save Our Youth® Mentoring
The roots of Save Our Youth® Mentoring took form in 1993 when violence among urban teens was pervading the country. In response, more than 100 socially conscious agencies, urban churches, and nonprofit organizations in the Denver Metro Area came together as a task force to address the prevailing problem of struggling youth. They recognized that underlying the grim realities of youth violence and drugs were hurting struggling young people who were crying out for wisdom and help for a better future. Like many individuals living in poverty, these at-risk youth displayed openness to encouragement and answers. Most importantly, the task force identified another common thread, that these youth were "disconnected" from caring adults who could provide stability, guidance, encouragement, and accountability.
