Youth Survivor Mentorship
Program ID: PRG00460Youth impacted by trauma often lack the one thing they need most: a consistent, caring adult. Our mentorship program pairs youth with trained, committed mentors who offer stable support, walk with them through healing, and empower them to rebuild life on their own terms. Youth meet with a trained volunteer mentor twice a month for a minimum of a year. The goal is attachment building, and whatever else the youth needs. The mentorship is completely youth led. If it is life skills, hobby learning, fun, or just someone to talk to, their Safe Passage mentor will be that for them. Youth must be a trafficking or exploitation victim, between 12-19 years old, and willing to have a mentor to qualify.
