Renegades for life Inc. Mentoring Program
Renegades for life Inc is a nonprofit organization providing mentoring programs for middle and high school youth in Seattle, Washington and the Greater Chicago area. We have changed the lives of families and youths through careful intervention by keeping them together and providing them with comprehensive tools that work for them and produces a better quality of life! The program will form partnerships with local school districts and the juvenile court system. Renegades for life Inc goal is to foster a commitment to young people that will promote pro-social friendships, strong interpersonal skills, and reassert a sense of hope in the future. Only through personal relationships can a sense of individual responsibility be reestablished that will give youth the commitment to follow through on path to adulthood with a sense of pride and accomplishment.
Renegades for life Inc is a program that is in direct response to the growing number of young people that are either falling through the cracks at school or are already entangled with the juvenile court system. The goal of the program is to identify youths who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal remains the same; empower the young person to make positive changes in his/her life.
Renegades for life Inc will focus primarily on middle school youths. It is projected that within three years, 50% of the system’s students will be in middle school. This age group is particularly problematic and a perfect time for mentoring to be effective.
Renegades for life Inc mentoring programs will pair a youth with and a certified adult mentor for 12 months. During that time the two will participate in weekly planned activities to strengthen the relationship between the two and improve the young person’s confidence and hopefulness. Mentors will receive continuous training throughout the year and will participate in monthly meeting to report the young person’s progress.
Over time, Renegades for life Inc will create a learning environment that will be an invaluable resource to young people, aspiring mentors and the community at large.
