CHANGING PERSPECTIVES. CHANGING LIVES.

Since 1964, our agency has cleared the path to the brightest possible future for youth in Sacramento, Placer, and Yolo counties. We operate under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life, and we work to develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people. Our one-to-one mentoring program primarily benefits children ages 7-21, who are being raised by single parents, grandparents, or other extended family, and foster families.

IN-KIND DONATIONS:

We are always seeking donations of event tickets and activity admissions to provide fun and unique activities that our matches can do together. While the time Bigs and Littles spend together can be as simple as playing outside or helping with homework, our Bigs often seek opportunities to do a fun activity with their Little that the child wouldn't otherwise have the chance to do. Many of our children don't often get to attend sporting events, theater shows, or even go bowling, and these events are an incredible opportunity for the match to create new memories together. Our Bigs support our mission in funding most outings with their Little, therefore your donation would help to relieve the costs of these outings and allow the match to focus solely on building their relationship.
