Mentoring Youth at Risk and Building Positive Futures

For youth at risk – specifically teens and young adults with past or current contact with the child welfare or juvenile justice systems – having a mentor can be a tipping point toward positive self-worth and a promising future. That’s what Connections – a Good People Fund grantee – makes possible in NYC and Westchester County to the north, pairing volunteer mentors with youth needing positive role models. Connections Founder Paul Muratore speaks with GPF Executive Director Naomi Eisenberger about making a difference in lives and communities. Connections: www.connectionsmentor.org. To Learn more go to goodpeoplefund.org.
