GoodGuides Purpose
By engaging youth in positive activities with adults who are strong role models, youth receive the encouragement and support they need to maximize their potential. GoodGuides engages adults who are expected to commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young person for a period of one year.
By becoming part of the social network of adults and community members who care about the youth, the mentors can help the youth to develop and reach positive academic, career, and personal goals.
GoodGuides Vision
Goodwill GoodGuides Youth Mentoring envisions a nation in which youth experience nurturing, positive relationships and community support that enable them to develop to their fullest potential with the capability of making informed, responsible decisions as involved members of their communities.
