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