Chris Crye Mentoring Program
Studies show that children who have at least one consistent, caring adult in their lives benefit from:
- Lower school drop out rate
- Less trouble with law enforcement
- Better prepared to build good relationships with their own families
You can become a powerful, positive force in the life of a child with emotional and behavioral problems. Become a mentor and you can do more than just befriend a child in Youth Villages’ care in Tennessee or Georgia – you might become the first positive role model that child has ever had.
Do I qualify?
To be a mentor, you must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Pass a mandatory screening
- Commit to spending 4-to-6 hours per month one-on-one with a mentee
- Attend an initial training session

Right now, hundreds of mentors are actively helping Youth Villages’ children through our programs but many more are needed.
