How It Works
You want to add 1:1 mentoring to your program.
We’ve built a Gold Standard Mentoring Model to help you start strong and make a lasting impact.
Fast-start your mentoring program with:
- A proven model built on 30 years of experience
- Comprehensive training and ongoing support for mentors and coordinators
- A safety-first matching process that ensures trusted, secure mentor–mentee connections
- Ready-to-use resources, forms, and templates for easy launch and sustainability
- Coaching and consulting to guide your first year
- Impact tracking tools to measure real growth in youth over time
Start small—make 5–10 quality matches in your first year using our system, and watch your program grow with confidence.
Why It Matters
Mentoring changes lives. The youth in our programs consistently grow in hope, resilience, and meaningful connection. When your organization becomes a Hope Partner, you’re not just offering a program—you’re igniting a movement. You become the catalyst for lasting transformation in the lives of young people who need it most. Together, we extend our reach, multiply our impact, and raise up the next generation of thriving, purpose-filled youth.
You keep your mission at the center. Our mentoring model comes alongside your existing work—strengthening what you already do best while adding the power of consistent, life-changing relationships.
Who We Partner With
Churches and Faith-Based Organizations – Those leading youth groups, outreach ministries, or after-school programs.
Schools and Alternative Education Programs – Especially those focused on student support, graduation, or re-engagement.
Nonprofits Serving Youth – Including programs for mental health, justice-involved youth, immigrant families, or housing-insecure teens.
Community Centers and Rec Programs – Where trusted adult engagement already happens, and long-term mentorship could deepen impact.
If your organization cares deeply about youth and wants to see transformation—not just participation—this is a partnership to explore.
We’re already partnering with organizations in Colorado and New Mexico – we are expanding nationwide.
Partnership Foundations
Hope Partners share Save Our Youth’s core values and bring stability, community connection, and commitment to the table. They have:
- A consistent source of youth participants and potential mentors within their community – we help you strategize recruitment!
- A designated coordinator or staff member to oversee mentoring
- Access to a local space for training your mentors
- An exsisting sustainable structure with mission, staffing, and budget
- A shared commitment to safety, training, and long-term impact
Together, we ensure every mentoring program is safe, sustainable, and built for lasting change.
A Gold Standard Program
A Partnership, Not a Product
This isn’t a plug-and-play program or a bundle of templates—it’s a one-year certification experience built on relationship. We walk alongside your organization to help you design and launch a Gold Standard Mentoring Program that’s sustainable, safe, and deeply impactful.
Our Fast Start Mentoring Model is designed for nonprofits ready to begin small—making fewer than 25 quality matches in the first couple of years—while building a foundation for long-term success and growth.
“The Save Our Youth infrastructure, knowledge and proven success have been invaluable in expanding our program, and we are truly thankful for the partnership”
