The future needs you
A mentor is a guide
A mentor is a critical aspect of the Kentucky Youth Challenge Program. Mentors provide our graduates with the real world guidance they need to keep their goals on track long after graduation.
A tool for the future
What is a mentor?
A mentor is a person who is assigned to a graduate of our Youth Challenge Programs who will serve as a guide post for their life after ChalleNGe. A mentor is a member of the cadet’s community who has a vested interest in seeing the cadet succeed. A mentor can be anyone from a teacher to a coach or a pastor.
Mentors are a critical aspect of our program that bolster the success of our graduates. Mentors lend encouragement and guidance to graduates when they set out from our doors and take the first steps towards their dreams.
