Gorge Youth Mentoring
Gorge Youth Mentoring (GYM) is a community-based mentoring program connecting youth ages 6-21 with caring adult volunteers to support them in their interests and needs. Once matched, program participants meet twice a month in a one-on-one setting for a minimum of one year, planning their own activities together. Children and teens who participate in one-on-one mentoring benefit from increased self-esteem and social skills, better school attendance and performance, and reduced substance abuse.

Know a youth in need of a caring adult mentor to guide them? Submit a youth referral and our Gorge Youth Mentoring team will do their best to find them a match.
Please note: Due to the many factors that are considered within programming, submitting a referral does not guarantee that a youth will be accepted into the program or guarantee a youth will be matched with a volunteer mentor.
