Summary:

For over 25 years, Long Island Youth Mentoring has matched at-risk children between ages 8 and 16, with screened, trained Christian adults who sense the need to help a needy child.  They spend 2-4 hours a week together doing things they both enjoy.  LIYM also has a Mother?s Ministry where a mentor meets with a mother who needs a Christian friend.  They have a tutoring program for children in grades 2-5 called Partners to Potential, Jail Visitation in NassauCounty and the GAP (Girls in Alternative Placement) program mentoring girls who are living in a group home or residential treatment facility.

Why does FASTEN recommend this resource?

LIYM has been very successful in their youth mentoring programs, and they are therefore an excellent source of information and wisdom.  Their website will guide visitors who want to get involved in LIYM?s own programs, but LIYM also provides information for those wanting to start their own mentoring program, in New York or elsewhere.
