Imagine a place where the circumstances that surround you don’t determine your access to opportunities. Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Charles County are making that vision a reality—in our community today and for the future.
Someone to look up to. Someone to talk to about dreams and fears. Someone to celebrate victories big and small. A good mentor is there to listen, to support, to care.
In a mentoring program at Boys & Girls Club, young people find positive adult mentors in staff and volunteers who notice their strengths, listen to their concerns, and open doors of possibility. From connecting youth to a program that deepens their interests to sparking their curiosity in a future career field, inspiring mentors help kids and teens explore their full potential.
There are also plentiful benefits of mentors — including helping prevent early drug use, encouraging teens to be college- and career-ready, and promoting positive mental health outcomes. Kids in youth mentoring programs are also more than 50% less likely to skip school.
Our Club kids benefit from mentorship and an engaged community of advocates. We are so thankful for those who give their time, talent, and treasure to ensure our kids have the support they need to be successful today and tomorrow.
