Mid-Ohio Youth Mentoring

Vision - Our vision is that all children have the help they need to succeed in life.  

Mission - Our mission is to provide youth in our community with a mentor that supports, encourages, and provides opportunities, that will help them achieve success in life.

Accountability - We partner with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community and hold ourselves accountable for each child in our program achieving:

• Higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships
• Avoidance of risky behaviors
• Educational success 

Our Vision, Mission & Accountability helps us focus on:

What We Do:  We work within the community to engage with families, volunteers and donors to serve our communities youth.  We create and professionally support; safe, strong, and enduring mentoring relationships. 

What We Achieve:  We achieve measurable outcomes for each youth served in the following key areas:

• Educational Success – youth attends school, performs better and is more likely to graduate.
• Attitudes & Competencies – youth has higher aspirations, gains confidence to overcome challenges, and improves relationships with others.
• Risky Behavior Avoidance – youth avoids risky behaviors, delinquency and involvement with the juvenile justice system.

Why It Matters:  Our work positively impacts individuals and communities.  Matched with a screened, trained and professionally supported volunteer, the youth served by Mid-Ohio Youth Mentoring, will become responsible productive citizens and will be able to achieve lifelong success.  Ultimately, this will be a benefit to our local families, communities, schools, and businesses.
