The Youth Guidance Mentoring and Activities Program was founded in 1973 to serve the children of the community. It is funded by Indian River County and United Way.
Monies for the program's activities are obtained through fundraisers, donations from individuals, service clubs, organizations, churches, foundations and businesses. By satisfying a child's most basic needs such as attention, affection, praise, recognition, and status, volunteers hope to raise the child's self-esteem. Children are referred to us from parents, schools, agencies, or citizens. Parents and children must be willing to cooperate. Learn more about the Indian River County Youth Guidance Mentoring and Activities Program and how you can volunteer!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
We have over 500 children waiting for mentors.
