    Description

    As days get shorter and nights grow longer, loneliness and isolation are reinforced by the images of perfect families and fabricated happiness flashing from the small screens tethered to our lives.

    It is when the cold and dim days seem to last forever that mentors become promise of light. YMC's mentoring programs create instant community, where young people get to experience a group of adults showing up for them on a consistent basis telling them they are worth showing up for.

    Nothing is more valuable to the youth of some of the most underserved areas of Los Angeles than your time. You have the power to inspire, guide, and most importantly be the reason they believe in themselves and their future.

    Your will be transformed as well. A sense of purpose and connection will enrich your life in ways you never expected, and all you have to do is show up on a consistent basis.
