Tacoma YFC mentoring month Do Kids Want Mentors?

Do kids want mentors?

Chuck and Kyler are a mentor/mentee with the One80 Mentorship program through our Juvenile Justice Ministry.  We shot this video towards the beginning of COVID and we think you’ll be encouraged to hear what drew Chuck and Kyler together and how they’ve both grown through this friendship.

Update: Chuck and Kyler continue to connect on a socially distant basis through hikes, snowshoeing, even motorcycle riding. Their time is filled with discussions about the Bible, doing workbook exercises from the book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens, and talking through what future employment for Kyler might look like. You could say they enjoy meeting as their times often last 2-3 hours!

Anyone can bring the hope of Jesus to the life of a young person, whether that’s through mentorship, volunteering, prayer, or financial generosity. For more information on our One80 program or to learn how you can get involved, click below.
