Host Families

Host families are families that take program participants into their home and work to support them on their journey of self-improvement and in their efforts to prepare for the life they have ahead of them. If you have an open home and a will to help program participants by providing them with a place to live, being a good role model, and supporting them along their journey, consider becoming a host family!

Host Family Application

💡

Note: All host families will need to undergo a background check.

Mentors

Mentors act as peer advisors, friends, and role models to program participants. If you have extra time and are looking for something meaningful to do with it, consider becoming a mentor and helping a program participant feel emboldened to shape out their future and make strides toward success!
