Success starts with you

Countless ways to help or get help

From being available to text a few times a week to weekend-long camping trips or help with homework, mentors can help youth succeed in countless ways.

The Boone County Mentoring Partnership will help connect you with activities, ways to help support mental and physical well-being, conflict resolution, and more.
