Our Juvenile Justice Mentoring Program is designed to help youth lay a spiritual foundation upon which they can build toward success in every aspect of life. This foundation is the launching point that empowers them to reach beyond themselves and their negative circumstances. The mentor comes along side a youth in a one to one relationship, becoming a trusted friend and guide. The relationship building may take place within a detention center, treatment facility, group, foster care or family home and continue as youth transition into the community. The mentor and the youth meet once a week for 1 to 4 hours. Over time, this relationship provides the youth with the tools needed to overcome the obstacles they face in their life.

Release is looking for Christian mentors over the age of 18 who have a heart for struggling/at-risk youth. You will be their friend, guide, and advocate. These youth simply need someone to listen to them and be an example of what it means to live in relationship with the Lord.
