We believe that through consistent mentoring, the lives of at-risk youth can be positively changed. We know that many disadvantaged youths lack basic social support to reach their full potential, and we are responding to this growing need. We guide students who are struggling with social and economic setbacks and provide resources such as food, clothing, and emotional support to families and students as needs arise thus meeting their basic home and educational needs.

Why We Are Different

Our nonprofit is one of its kind in the Salt Lake City area. We specifically seek out at-risk, minority youth, living in poverty, a large majority of whom come from single-parent households; and give them the individual attention, nurturing, and mentoring that they need to grow and thrive in their communities. Our program is more strategic than similar organizations as we consistently work hand in hand with their parents, foster parents, social workers, teachers, principals, and probation officers to ensure that they receive the proper resources and guidance for their wellbeing. This program is intended to be a long-term engagement. We mentor each of the boys for years, from the time they enter our program as most do in the fifth grade, to the day they graduate from high school. Our vision is to grant partial scholarships to each of the boys that go on to attend a four-year university, a two-year college, or a trade school.

We work with the West Valley City Schools to identify individuals who may need extra care during these formative years of their lives. By providing leadership opportunities and continuous activity-based mentoring, we're guiding our youth to grow into successful young men who will positively impact their families and communities.
