Join us this #GivingTuesday as we launch a campaign to support the work of Mentors for Youth! Best Home Furnishings has generously pledged to match funds raised, up to $3000, doubling the impact of your contribution. With your help, Mentors for Youth stands to receive more than $6,000.00 this Giving Tuesday!

What Can $6,000 Achieve for Mentors for Youth?

6+ High-Quality Outings: We can organize six or more enriching outings, providing mentors and their mentees with memorable experiences that foster meaningful connections. These outings go beyond traditional mentorship activities, creating lasting bonds and memories.

3+ New Matches: Your contribution will enable us to make three or more new mentor-mentee matches (& maintain them for a year), pairing caring mentors with youth who can benefit the most from positive guidance and support. These relationships have a profound impact on the personal and academic development of young individuals.

COUNTLESS Lives Changed: Mentorship sets off a ripple effect, changing lives by empowering individuals to succeed. As mentors make a difference, those they inspire go on to positively influence others, creating a chain reaction of personal and community growth.

Every donation, regardless of its size, plays a crucial role in supporting our #GivingTuesday Campaign. Thanks to the generous commitment from Best Home Furnishings, every dollar you contribute will be doubled, amplifying the impact of your generosity. Whether big or small, your donation helps us reach our goal, ensuring that more youth benefit from mentorship programs and meaningful connections in our community. Together, we can empower the next generation and inspire positive change in our community!

Mentors for Youth of Dubois County

Many children in Dubois County lack a "naturally occurring" mentor in their life. That’s where Mentors for Youth comes in! We seek to match youth between the ages of 6 and 14 with caring adults (16 years or older) who wish to spend two hours every other week for one year together (although most matches last an average of 2.5 years!). Mentors work with their mentees to establish goals and develop life skills, such as decision-making, problem-solving, and communication. They also engage in activities that promote positive youth development, such as agency sponsored outings, community service projects, and recreational activities.

Mission: Mentors for Youth is dedicated to facilitating mutually beneficial relationships between youth and adults for the purpose of enhancing individual lives and the community

Vision: To be the difference, the change, and the good in the lives of Dubois County children facing adversity
