We offer free, safe and structured after-school programs. Our students are matched one-to-one with a volunteer tutor/mentor and they work on reading and comprehension. We emphasize the bond that is built between student and mentor.

At Community for Youth we transform high school students who are struggling - with school, with family, with their direction in life - into young adults who have confidence, determination and self-awareness. We provide support through a community of adult mentors who are relentlessly committed to their success; teenagers learn to make thoughtful choices, fulfill their commitments, acknowledge their mistakes and account for their actions. By taking control of their lives, students realize they can achieve more than they ever dreamed possible.

This community coalition does not directly serve youth.
