Youth guidance empowers indian river countys neediest youth through mentoring relationships, and broadens their horizons with educational, cultural and recreational opportunities.

It is the mission of youth guidance to help children from single parent families who may be experiencing family problems due to abuse or neglect, or first-time deliquency. We strive to match each child with an adult volunteer friend to provide a positive role model, guidance and emotional support in order to break the abuse/neglect cycle, decrease deliquency, improve grades and foster a positive self-image.
