5 Star Youth Services
Life Skills Program
5 STAR 2020 MENTORING PROGRAM
One-on-one instruction, or mentoring, is one of the oldest forms of teaching.
5 Star uses mentoring as a viable resource because it provides encouragement and guidance to each adolescent or child that participates. This type of relationship is a prime missing factor in lives of at-risk and juvenile youth.
Our mentoring programs connect people who have specific skills, life experiences and knowledge with adolescents who need or want the same skills, life experiences and knowledge to change their lives and families lives for the better.
