ADAMS COUNTY Project Hope Mentoring Program

Project Hope strives to match current and former foster youth, as well as,  other at-risk youth from the community, ages 13-21,  with a positive, caring adult in the community to coach them in daily living activities,  be a listening ear, introduce them to new opportunities, empower them to make responsible decisions, and spend time pursuing activities of shared interest.

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships have powerful positive effects on young people in a variety of personal, academic, and professional situations. Ultimately, mentoring connects a young person to personal growth and development, and social and economic opportunity." - MENTOR, mentoring.org
