“Having a mentor, a person outside the juvenile
system to spend time with and talk to, shows these troubled youth that they
are not outcasts: that the community cares about them.”
—The Honorable Ann Aiken, Federal District Court Judge
All
of CPY-BBBS programs foster positive change in youths’ lives.
Youth are matched with caring volunteer adults who are trained to focus on trust-building and the achievement of goals, by engaging youth in one-on-one outings and adventures in the community.
THE BOLDER OPTIONS PROGRAM
A running program where male mentors foster positive changes in the lives of
adolescent boys involved in the juvenile court system through goal setting, self-discipline
and athletic skill development.
