The Multi-state Southwest Key Youth Mentoring Program is part of a continuum of care for system-involved youth ages 10-17 in Atlanta, Austin, Buffalo, Milwaukee and San Jose. The goal of the program is to establish and support mentoring relationships that have a long-lasting, positive impact on both the youth and the adult. Ultimately, this program aspires to reduce juvenile delinquency and criminal activity, improve academic performance and reduce dropout rates for program participants.
