Gorge Youth Mentoring (G.Y.M.)
Gorge Youth Mentoring matches youth ages 6-21 with caring adult volunteers to support them in their interests and needs. Volunteer mentors are screened and interviewed by G.Y.M. staff before being paired with youth based on similarities and compatibility. Once matched, program participants meet twice a month in a one-on-one setting for a minimum of one year, planning their own activities together.

Children and teens who participate in one-on-one mentoring benefit from:
- Increased self-esteem and social skills
