The mission of The Center Foundation is to mentor, educate and empower teens and adults to fulfill their potential as healthy, responsible and engaged members of the community. Our evidence-based mentorship programs match mentees with trained, volunteer mentors for one year. Mentees, with the support of their mentors, set specific self-sufficiency goals to achieve in that year. The mentors meet on a weekly basis with their mentees to provide advice, guidance, and friendship. Applying a holistic, biopsychosocial approach, staff also provides case management support, skills-based workshops, and aftercare to our mentees.
